Architects should stop glorifying the “grind”.

Let’s glorify:

- Sleep
- Family
- Vacations
- Relationships
- Mental Health
- Paid Family Leave
- Work-Life Boundaries

Architecture is one field where the education and work seem more interested in weeding people out than keeping them in.

Report on pervading toxic culture @BartlettArchUCL. This top school seemed to lead the idea in archi edu that pain = glory, + beyond into profession/ practice, with plenty of damage on the way. It all seems so backwards thinking now. Let’s hope the spotlight leads to real change.

[UCL @ucl]

We’ve received the findings of an independent investigation by @HowlettBrown into behaviour and culture at @BartlettArchUCL following concerns raised by current and former students and staff.
