Make it personal without making it generic
Choose sites around an architectural question the recipient already follows, such as adaptive reuse, daylight, or small-space planning.
Presentation
Fold the itinerary like a small floor plan, with each stop revealed behind a paper doorway.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- The route is experiential and the field card folds into a pocket.
- Skill
- No architectural expertise is required; questions should support observation rather than pretend to evaluate structural safety.
- Maintenance
- Date every access note and preserve official confirmation details in the recipient's preferred format.
- Accessibility
- Offer a route with elevators, seating, quiet pauses, captioned interpretation, and an exterior alternative when interiors are inaccessible.
- Sustainability
- Cluster sites geographically, use public transport when workable, and make adaptive reuse part of the observation rather than a marketing claim.
- Timing
- Plan well before limited-capacity events and keep one nearby public building as a no-ticket fallback.
What to investigate
