Values

Members are encouraged to embody the core values of future architecture, each defined by an essential quality (i.e. beauty), and further contextualized by a supporting element (i.e. transcendence). For example, The Guild values nature because it checks the power of technology; values context to address increasing complexity; and holds that individual identity biases prevent us from fulfilling a universal human need: a true sense of belonging.

• Beauty; as an elevating force to transcendence

• Nature; as a wise companion to technology

• Courage; as an essential driver of imagination

• Faith; as a grounding anchor of embodiment

• Context; as a powerful navigator of complexity

• Connection; as a fluid conduit of creativity

• Justice; as a mandatory foundation of harmony

• Inclusion; as a generous cultivator of belonging
