Architectural practices that neglect relationship building and networking often find themselves caught in the feast or famine cash flow cycle, experiencing unpredictable periods of financial abundance followed by droughts. The cost of isolation in this industry is significant. However, by cultivating a well-connected network of professional relationships, architects increase their chances of securing the ideal projects, attracting the right clients, and maintaining a steady flow of income to sustain and grow their practices. Building and nurturing these connections prove invaluable in creating stability and prosperity within the architectural field.

In this episode of the Business of Architecture podcast, Enoch Sears and Rion Willard discuss the cost of isolation for an architectural practice.

Discover how architect Victor Caban-Diaz developed his first duplex project in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I originally interviewed Victor on the podcast back in May of 2016 (episode number 157).

In this episode, you'll discover the lessons Caban-Diaz learned while developing this project, including how increases in building products almost crushed the project.

Is the architecture industry collapse inevitable? Recently, Business of Architecture director Rion Willard watched a YouTube video, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order by author and investor Ray Dalio.

Dalio writes, "I believe the world is changing in big ways that haven’t happened before in our lifetimes but have many times in history, so I knew I needed to study past changes to understand what is happening now and help me to anticipate what is likely to happen."

In the video, Dalio explores what he calls the "Big Cycle" of the rise and decline of nation-states and empires.

The principles that Dalio shares eerily echo the current state of the architectural industry. Listen to this episode to discover how this trend is reflected in the rise and decline of the architectural industry.

In this episode, Lance Cayko, principal of the architecture firm F9 Productions and co-host of the popular podcast Inside the Firm shares his take on the focus on activism in the architectural industry.

Architect Jeff Frame realized something needed to change when he saw that younger staff had different priorities and values than existing team members.

Frame now has a dedicated team of employees who safeguard his time, while also maintaining high quality standards and profitability. This is a small firm success story.

Have we as architects betrayed ourselves? Do we have anyone to blame but ourselves for the erosion of responsibility and control in the building and design process? Do we have anyone to blame but ourselves for the chronically low wages, layoffs, and cyclical business cycles? The good news here is if we're to blame for the problem, we can also be the solution. In this episode of the Business of Architecture podcast, Enoch Sears and Rion Willard discuss this vital question.

If you've run an architectural practice for any amount of time, you've probably had clients who tried to avoid paying an invoice.

Architect Marina Rubina is an alumnus of the Business of Architecture SMART Practice™ program.

She is a Registered Architect in the states of New Jersey and California and is a LEED Accredited Professional. She holds Master’s degrees in both Architecture and Structural Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley.

"Damn all architects, the rich man’s folly," writes opinion journalist Giles Coren in a recent issue of The Times (original article here).

Is this article perpetuating inaccurate tropes of the architectural profession, or is there some truth in this scathing critique of architects where the writer states, "Your project’s four months late and 75 grand over budget but what did you expect when you hired a speccy design wonk?"

Every architectural project isn't a fit. One of the challenges of managing a small architectural practice today is managing the appropriate workflow.

Having too much work causes problems.

Too much work leads to:

  • Increased project timelines making unhappy clients
  • Procrastinating important tasks like invoicing
  • Team members over-loaded and feeling behind

Today Enoch Sears and Rion Willard discuss why every architectural project isn't a fit and how to say 'no' to the wrong projects.

In today’s episode, I will be speaking with Nunzio & Marc DeSantis of the intergenerational award-winning architecture firm, Nunzio Marc DeSantis Architects.

 

Nunzio’s career began over 38 years ago at HKS, where he created the HKS hospitality group.  Since then, he has completed more than 60,000 hotel rooms throughout the world and is largely credited with having made Cabo San Lucas into the luxury vacation destination that it is today.

 

Marc’s classical training at the University of Notre Dame and his three years of design experience at Robert A.M. Stern in New York bring a structured and classical perspective to the boutique hospitality firm. During his time with RAMSA, Marc worked on high-level residential projects including the design, interiors, and details of 220 Central Park South, 550 Madison Ave, and 555 W 22nd. Street.

 

Most recently, Nunzio Marc DeSantis Architects (NMDA) received international recognition for their work on Bishop's Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection, a legendary landmark reimagined and modernized through a 75M renovation. Nunzio and Marc were honored for their work on the historic resort as winners of Architectural Digest's 2022 Great Design Awards.  

 

In today’s episode, we will be discussing:

  • The energy created by a father and son partnership that blends the seasoned experience with young fashionable hunger and buckets loads of talent
  • How to create a youthful team with the best real-life experience in the business
  • How to master a niche and why focusing on one single sector has weathered recessions and developed deep robust relationships with extraordinary clients

Today I will be speaking with Todd Walker,  founding partner of Archimania, a firm that is nationally ranked 8th in design, 24th in sustainability, and in the top 50 for interior architects.

 

Todd has chaired and/or juried numerous design award programs, including the American Institute of Architects Washington, D.C., AIA Indiana, AIA Louisiana, AIA Mississippi, AIA New Orleans, AIA’s National Construction, National Development Awards, Builder Magazine’s Annual Builder’s Choice Design and Planning Awards, Masonry Institute Design Awards, The Francis Mah Travel Grant, and AIA Memphis’ Design Awards Program Chairman. 

 

Todd was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects for his notable contributions to the design field in 2009, which places him in the top 1 percent of architects nationwide.  During that same year, Todd was one of only nine university alumni named Mississippi State University’s Alumni Fellow of the Year.  In April of 2014, Todd was the recipient of the Francis Gassner Award for his contributions to design. 

 

He works in the community, and beyond, as a passionate promoter of design excellence.  He has continually transformed modest projects into more than 150 award-winning works of national significance; as a result, his work has been consistently recognized by national, regional, state, and local award programs, featured in a dozen books and published in Architectural Record, Architecture, Builder, Custom Home, Metropolitan Home, Residential Architect, The New York Times, AIArchitect, and ArchDaily. Of his 150-plus awards, more than 100 are AIA awards.

 

In today’s episode, we will be discussing:

  • How do you advance and contribute to a city and a business?
  • How to create a sense of belonging and inclusivity in a business
  • The mindset of a partner and how it’s not for everyone and nor should it be and nor is it the pinnacle of a career

Today I will be speaking with KOVA Vice President Dan Sullivan, AIA, NCARB––a licensed architect who has never really practiced “traditional” architecture––has set out to develop circularity-driven building solutions to enhance building performance and longevity from the inside out.

 

His initial experience lay with whimsical designs in China and Israel, Burning Man’s Catacomb of Veils, and progressive, geometric architecture practice. As Head of Design for Google Architecture’s R+D Lab, Dan discovered his passion for building solutions that lend to a healthier built environment, enhance end-user outcomes, and improve neuroaesthetics.

 

It was through his professional experience that he realized just how wasteful architecture and construction can be and he has set out to remedy this conundrum. At KOVA, he is constantly challenging the status quo while addressing climate change, the psychology of space, and the material waste produced by the industry.

 

On today’s episode we will be discussing:

  • The emergence of new collaborative business models closing the gap between construction, products, software and design
  • How KOVA operates across numerous domains
  • Skunk works, Google R&D labs and the importance of play and experimentation

During that time, he was responsible for entitling and planning over 1,000 residential apartment units integrated into many of FCRC’s retail projects.

Since its founding, FullStack Modular has established itself as a first mover in using advanced technologies for building design and high-rise modular construction. Their current pipeline includes hundreds of thousands of buildable square feet for hospitality, multifamily, and student housing.

Jake has a decade of experience in building things from the ground up. At Adidas, he leads teams in Computational Design, Digital Technologies, and Pattern Engineering.

Previously, Jake was the Director of Business Development at an EdTech Startup, worked around the world as a designer for top architecture and design firms, and taught extensively in the architecture and design fields.

Erin is a designer and registered architect with a decade of experience in the fields of design, business development, and creative consulting. She currently works as the Founder and Principal of Matter, a design firm that solves problems that span from brand and digital experiences to the built environment.

Erin has worked extensively in the venture and start-up space in the Northeast, with early-stage companies as well as VC funds on design, visual, narrative strategy, and brand development.

She has also taught and coached in architecture and design fields at universities including Harvard, Cornell, Parsons, The City University of New York and the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

 

 

In this episode, Jake and Erin discuss the disconnect between architecture education and the profession, how our skills and training can be invaluable to many different roles in different industries, and how you can create and design an architecture career that fits you.

 

  • We speak about their new book Out of Architecture, why many firms are losing out on talent and talent retention due to their hiring processes
  • We discuss the challenges that university education faces with the education of the architect 
  • And we discuss the taboo or concerns that some young architects may face simply because they are part of a network that is exploring possibilities outside of the traditional profession

Today we will be speaking with Michael Bernard AIA. He is the founder of Virtual Practice Consulting, where he provides strategic advice to design and construction firms.

He was a professor in the architecture department at The California College of the Arts in San Francisco for many years and previously served as a director on the board of the San Francisco chapter of the AIA and on the board of the AIA California Council. He’s led several committees and served as Architect Advisor to the academy for emerging professionals at the AIA San Francisco.

Michael’s Origin Story

Michael discovered architecture as a 10 year old when he was inspired by house plan magazines at the supermarket and built 3D models as a child. In college, he studied psychology with the intent of becoming a clinical psychologist. While he was teaching French to exchange students during summer school, a colleague noticed him sketching and asked if he’d ever thought of architecture as a profession.

Michael started in design and worked for Charles Moore in Los Angeles. After some time, he went to work for a larger technical firm because he wanted to learn what the underpinning was of design. Over the course of his career, he always wanted more. He finally realized that what he loved most about architecture is the creative team that makes a project happen.

 

In today’s episode we will be discussing:

  • The importance of defining culture in a business for high performance
  • The evolution of leadership all business owners must  journey through
  • We discuss the dangers of ‘Design React Mode’

Today you’ll also hear from Patrick MacLeamy, the former CEO of HOK.

During his 50-year tenure at HOK, MacLeamy witnessed the firm’s growth from a single midwestern office to 27 locations across the globe offering architecture, interiors, engineering, planning and more.

MacLeamy joined HOK St. Louis in 1967, after which he helped establish the firm’s San Francisco outpost in 1970 - later becoming managing principal of that office.  He joined HOK’s executive committee in 1995 and was named COO five years later.  In 2003, HOK shareholders elected MacLeamy Chief Executive Officer.

He led the firm for 13 years.  In 2016, MacLeamy chose a new CEO for HOK, remaining as Chairman for one more year before retiring —or as he likes to say, “repurposing.” 

MacLeamy is also the Chairman of buildingSMART International, which works to achieve open standards for the exchange of digital information in the building and infrastructure industries.  He was a founding member of buildingSMART, in 1994.

In today’s episode, we discuss how your practice can prepare for the next recession. You’ll discover the 4 pillars of a successful firm, and more.
