Can architects stay sensitive in a thick-skinned world? 🌍✨

Описание: In this candid short from my podcast with Ar. Sangeet Sharma, we dive into a thought-provoking question: Should architects be “thick-skinned” in today’s challenging world, or does true creativity demand sensitivity?

I shared my perspective that while society often advises us to grow a thick skin, architects must remain deeply sensitive—because our designs are not just structures, they are reflections of emotions, human needs, and cultural values. Sensitivity shapes how we respond to spaces, light, materials, and ultimately, the lives of people inhabiting our creations.

Ar. Sangeet Sharma responded beautifully, explaining that while resilience is essential to deal with the practical challenges of the profession, creativity cannot exist without sensitivity of the heart and mind. Architecture is not arbitrary—it is about involvement, awareness, and designing with empathy. Every detail matters, and sensitivity is what makes design meaningful.

This short conversation goes beyond technicalities and dives into the philosophy of architecture, reminding us why architects must stay connected to their emotions and surroundings to create soulful spaces.
