@hiddenlinesarchitect: Site Officer StoryWhat makes an architect change the direction of their career? Architect Ayaz Rasheed shares a defining moment from the early days of his professional journey—an experience that changed the way he thought about design, accessibility, and the role of architecture. While working on a commercial plaza project, he designed an accessibility ramp according to standard requirements. During a site visit, a conversation about that ramp revealed a deeper issue: the gap between designing for people and simply constructing buildings. That experience became a turning point. It sparked a shift toward a more human-centered approach to design and eventually led him from architecture into interior design, where he could focus more directly on how people experience and interact with spaces. This story is about: ✔ Accessibility in design ✔ Human-centered architecture ✔ Design responsibility ✔ Professional growth ✔ Lessons from real-world projects Because great design isn't just about buildings—it's about the people who use them.
