The innovative ideas and concepts we create can often only be born after hours (sometimes days) of intense thought and several dozen layers of sketch paper. Every business, including architecture firms (yes, its true!), Most sole practitioners and small firms I know struggle to meet the minimum requirements of operation.

Running a small firm requires you to play many different roles. Rather than suggest an elaborate professional development program–even large firms struggle to implement this–I encourage you to seek opportunities to “seize the moment.” Connect with Jeremy on Linkedin or at his blog Humane Design.

“How do I get noticed when I am first starting an architecture firm? I’ve shared articles on how much it may cost to start your own firm and how Annmarie and I launched Fivecat Studio with no clients and very little money. Starting a firm from scratch is not easy.

That something is “how we do it” My firm does it differently than the rest. Before we design, before we sketch our first line, we perform a process of information gathering that involves a questionnaire, photo collecting and a collaborative programming meeting.

6:45am I had to sketch out a quick graphic image for my annual “ What to Get an Architect for Christmas ” post.

The acronym stands for “Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom.” Valuable data that serves a purpose is used as information, which is more structured than data, thus supporting the decision-making process. Perhaps this is because a lot of time in our career is spent handling unusable data and not valuable information.

Let’s take the example of Basecamp , a very generic online project management software, also suitable for architects to follow up your construction projects with your staff, share information, data, to-do’s, documents and so much more.

Before starting my business I consumed a lot of information: podcasts , blog posts, books, and videos; there was always more to learn. An architectural education provides us with lateral thinking skills, negotiating tactics, problem-solving abilities; we can draw and sketch. Making requires skill and an idea.
