AIA Young Architects Forum quarterly publication Connection, Vol 18 Issue 02 theme of Citizen Architect spotlights studio co-founder and principal, Lisa Sauve.

Building on design and professional leadership experience, emerging professionals are making meaningful contributions in their communities. Learn how they are increasing the visibility of the profession and demonstrating the value of architects in unique ways.

"It was clear to me that Sauve embodies Synecdoche's core values of "Do Good Work." She does what it takes to move the profession, design, and her community into the future. All the work she does is for the good of the community. She is willing to put in the time and effort it takes to enact the positive changes she wants to see." - Caitlin Osepchuk AIA, Contributing journalist

“In essence, ‘citizen architects’ give back to their communities through civic work in public roles to help educate on the values of architecture. Or even more simply put if you are an architect, you should try to get involved and do good stuff.” - Ryan McEnroe, Chair
