Architecture Beyond Sacrifice There is a quiet revolt underway. "I believe we’re standing at the edge of a new era of self-sufficiency that doesn’t fit the current definition of entrepreneurship because it doesn’t demand the same all-consuming sacrifice." - Catherine “CatGPT” Goetze Not loud. Not
You Need a Knife You’ve been tricked into believing strategy is a game of adding layers: more plans, more slides, more analyses. You think if you stack enough ideas, diagrams, and scenarios together, clarity will emerge from the sheer weight of your diligence. It won’t. Subscribe Most of
It’s a Daily Violence Against the Present You’ve been taught that vision is something you print, frame, and hang on a wall. A feel-good statement, crafted to inspire briefly and forgotten quickly. A decoration that signals ambition without requiring consequence. But real vision doesn’t live on walls
It’s Misaligned Design You don’t have a discipline problem. You have a design problem. You’ve spent years trying to solve drift—the invisible force that pulls your business quietly off-course, wasting your focus, draining your momentum, and burying your ambition under a fog of frustration. You’ve
A Technical Manifesto Architects sometimes speak of “form follows function.” In climate-secure housing, the highest form must follow the ultimate function: preserving life. We’re done building illusions. We must build systems. Integrated, purposeful, resilient systems that shield human beings from the storms, fires, floods and heatwaves that no longer
Wren Design Most logos are lies. Not because they intend to deceive, but because they’re incomplete. Designed to impress, but not to express. Polished shells that say nothing about what matters. Brand work that flatters the founder, but never reveals them. Cameron didn’t build Wren Design to make
Replace It With Architecture You’ve been sold a lie. The lie is that strategy exists inside a neatly organised slide deck, decorated with carefully crafted bullet points and polished visuals. It sits comfortably on your hard drive, reassuring you of your thoughtfulness, preparedness, and your supposed clarity. It promises
Equity and Homes That Truly Protect Climate disasters don’t damage randomly. They hurt where vulnerability is concentrated. Elders in fixed-income housing, low-income renters, Indigenous and northern communities... these are the demographics bearing the worst of heat, power loss, and smoke. If resilience is not equitable, it isn't
Intellectual Canon Has Replaced Thought She said her favourite book was Atlas Shrugged. And then she choked. Not on the words. On the next sentence. When asked to quote it, explain it, anchor it to a moment, a belief, a transformation... there was nothing. Just noise. Just drift. Subscribe This
You’re Avoiding the Cost of Clarity Clarity isn't complicated. It’s expensive. You think you’re confused. You feel unsure. You toss and turn, waiting for some lightning strike of insight to illuminate the truth you're supposedly missing. But let’s be honest: you'
As Climate Policy Housing isn’t just bricks and mortar—it’s a frontline climate policy. But laws, zoning, and incentives still treat it as a bottom-line commodity. Meanwhile, the structures we consent to build—or allow to remain—are killing people, locking in risk, and costing more than we’
Tech‑Driven Building Control Passive design gives you insulation, shading, thermal mass—the physical barriers against climate. But to navigate real-world complexity—changing weather, occupant needs, performance drift—you need dynamic systems. Sensors, predictive controls, air modulation: a building that listens, learns, and adapts. Passive is foundation; intelligence is autonomy.
