Across cultures and geographies, in small studios and large firms, in the offices of anonymous designers or celebrity architects, one condition seems to unite us all: precarity. It manifests itself through permanent internships, short-term contracts, freelance work, and meagre pay. Job security seems like an elusive dream, especially for young professionals. Precarity is like a dark shadow that looms over creativity. It impacts performance and innovation, taking a toll on mental and physical well-being. How do we navigate these uncertain waters? Where are we headed in an increasingly mobile and gig-based world? What practice models have successfully challenged this status quo? Come with us as we try to bring these precarities to light.
