13 Rhonda Phillips- Building Communities

We need to build communities. Architecture needs to express our

feelings as a community. Flourishment and sustainability equals happiness
and a quality of life as people. Architects are trying to make this world a
much happier place which means bringing people together through their
architecture. As Phillips says Potential solutions exist at the nexus of
different ways of viewing a problem and different ways of thinking. Denmark
is considered the happiest place on earth and look at their architecture, its
beautiful and it collects people, brings them together. Canada is right behind
them, second but the USA is pretty far down the charts, thirteenth. The USA
needs to really stop trying to build large cities with skyscrapers that go
straight and just focus on the people and community they need.
