The Architecture Lobby, Inc. is an organization of architectural workers advocating for the value of architecture in the general public and for architectural work within the discipline. It believes that the work architects do – aesthetic, technical, social, organizational, environmental, administrative, fiduciary – needs structural change to be more rewarding and more socially relevant. As long as architecture tolerates abusive practices in the office and the construction site, it cannot insist on its role in and for the public good.
The Architecture Lobby states, “As workers it is our responsibility to uphold the labor practices that will enable architects to be free of student debt, to live in the region of our choosing, and to raise a family if we wish. To this end, we invite you to join us by signing a pledge to claim these rights for yourself and for architectural workers everywhere.”
