Our prospective clients learn with their heads, but decide with their hearts. After years of research and gathering information, often when a client chooses to work with an architect, it simply comes down to their feelings. Is it a building permit, or a healthier, happier place to raise their family? Who are they?

Your Interns Could Be Your Future Clients. What if you viewed your junior staff as one day they might be your future client? If your letting people work in your office and get a “behind the scenes” look at how you run your business, viewing them as a future client makes a lot of sense then seeing them as anything else.

Before we grab the roll of trace and start sketching with the Sharpie, we gather as much information about the users of our buildings as possible. With a full understanding of the people using our buildings, we can better manage the process and develop a project that exceeds their expectations. What are their personal tastes and style?

Should non-architects be permitted to use the term “architect”? Our architectural educations should be viewed more as personal improvement, building our skills and reinforcing our knowledge, and less as a ticket to professional exclusivity. Our endeavor to licensure builds upon what we have achieved from our educations.

MARCH 2, 2014

We build a lot of physical models in my office – and I am really glad that we do. There is no doubt that our clients love them, but that’s not the only reason why we build them. Clients respond to these models in a very different way than when we just show them 3-dimensional computer images of their projects.
