Our Declaration
We are members of the architecture profession who support a Yes vote on 18 September 2014. Primarily we are architects but also architecture academics, students and others engaged in the practice of architecture.
It is our belief that independence can bring about a more equal and democratic society. The profession of architecture can have a profound role in shaping that new Scotland.
As architects we often see the impact of inequality and unfairness on our society such as land being traded as a commodity against the interests of the community, unaffordable housing and homelessness. We also understand the impact that poor housing and buildings have on many within our society.
Our built environment is crucial to the wellbeing of the population. It affects the quality of people’s lives with the best giving a sense of community, security and pride. The worst leads to dislocation, isolation with lowered expectations and health outcomes.
We want our environment, both urban and rural, improved for Scotland’s citizens, where good architecture and design are accepted as an essential part of making people’s lives better. We want a fairer Scotland where a right to good housing is enshrined in a written constitution. This can be best achieved with a Yes vote on September 18.
