Paul Morrell, OBE, addresses critical challenges facing built environment

Paul Morrell, OBE, addresses critical challenges facing built environment professions, emphasizing the need for adaptability. He advocates for collaborative reforms in sector structure, education, policy, and accountability to enhance efficiency and societal value.

Many institutions, rooted in Victorian principles, struggle in today's world of technological shifts, blurring professional lines, and a discerning public. Morrell questions how they can update their past to remain relevant.

He highlights a critical "performance gap": buildings often fail to deliver on promises of health, well-being, and low-carbon impact, a systemic failure of the professions to address.

“The Journey” represents the spiritual work Native peoples undertake to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose. A powerful manifestation of this is the Canoe Journey.

Since 1989, Northwest Coastal Indians have participated in the Canoe Journey, traveling to villages along the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. This spiritual commitment requires participants to be free from alcohol and drugs, offering profound healing for individuals, families, and tribes, especially those in recovery.

"JustUs" depicts a family in New Mexico's Española Valley ministering to their community amidst an epidemic of heroin addiction and political corruption. This region, homeland to Indigenous tribes and site of the 1680 Pueblo Rebellion against Spanish colonization, carries deep historical traumas. Spanish is a dominant cultural influence, and most residents are bi-racial. Despite its enchanting landscape, the valley suffers from endemic poverty; New Mexico ranks 49th in education. Job opportunities are scarce, with drug distribution often serving as the primary income.
