Diary entries, unashamed messy models and sketches, a dictionary running throughout the book in the margin, and construction photos all work together in a novel way to give the reader a front row seat in a fast moving and high profile architecture firm. Just get it and enjoy the ride.

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. Most sole practitioners and small firms I know struggle to meet the minimum requirements of operation. Forget about profit. How Can An Architect Make More Money?

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. One example is our pre-design process.

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. Most sole proprietors and small firms I know, struggle to meet the minimum requirements of operation. Forget about profit. We deserve to earn more.

Here is where the ability to actively listen and process information by using self-awareness and acknowledging presence has recently been a growing part of my day: A few weeks ago Mark released a podcast in which he mentioned he has been doing the amount of pushups for his age every day. Physical health. 21 pushups per day. Mindfulness.

The practice of architecture is more than sketching on trace paper, parti diagrams, deciding what pens to draw with, groupies, and last-minute trips to Vegas. What I want to talk about is the “what not to do’s” and the other nuances within resumes – the information you can plant between the lines to tell the reader something extra about you.

6:45am I had to sketch out a quick graphic image for my annual “ What to Get an Architect for Christmas ” post. A Christmas ornament seemed Christmas-y enough so I sketched it up, took a picture of it with my phone, brought it into Photoshop where I added some color, and then *BOOM* … the graphic was created.

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. For a small architectural firm, Basecamp will cost you $20/month. Pricing models.

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. Manage expectations and keep them informed. We describe what was discussed and inform them of what should next be expected. Every meeting is followed up with written minutes.

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.
