The digital age is happening fast. In the past year I wrote an analytical essay on the effect of this on architecture which you can read by clicking here. In the current media environment it can be a challenge to cut through the noise and expose your mind to eye-opening possibilities and questions you haven’t thought to ask- this is where I find TED talks useful. Below are links to my personal top TED talks for current and future architects to broaden your knowledge and widen your individual potential to create a positive lasting influence on others.

 

Reusing a sustainable material to save lives

 

Communities being given the framework to create an expand their own architecture

 

Design is secondary to functionality within a community

 

Urban architecture

 

Philosophical architecture

 

Upending the visual bias 

 

Emotional effects of architecture
