This ground-up home built just south of downtown Austin was designed for empty nesters looking to accommodate both gatherings for friends and family as well as moments of serene respite. By designing the house in a compact form and setting it against the rear set-back, we were able to congregate all the available site into a central courtyard. A second open-air structure consisting of a 2-car carport, potting bench, and covered porch sits on the front set-back line and forms the entry of the courtyard. To address the southern exposure of the house, the 2-story dining porch is defined by a steel louvered screen, which also gives a level of privacy to the second-floor bedrooms. The material palette of this home is simple and honest. Board formed concrete pairs with steel and stucco on the exterior. On the interior, walnut, steel and plaster mix with earthen hues within a light filled white box. All coming together in loft-like interior spaces along with interactive exterior spaces to create places for entertaining as well as contemplating.

Today we're continuing the conversation on modular construction w/ Rommel Sulit and Chris Krager. Buckle up for some quotable quotes and impactful ideas in this episode. A recurring theme from part 1 is present here. Could it be the case that because modular delivery must rethink basic assumptions, it may be the first area of the AEC to do what the rest of the AEC is not. At core, the role of architecture is to create the link between design intent and what is actually built. This is not easy, nor simple. It means managing multiple streams of expertise and action so that they are effectively coordinated and integrated into a finished livable space.Modular requires a high resolution understanding of why we build the way we do, what are its strengths and weaknesses, and, particularly, where are the key leverage points to unlock change. Because as they say in this episode, there's no way around the reality that when it comes to AEC practices, We have to Pivot at somewhere. Modular delivery is perhaps, at heart, a recognition of this truth.Rommel SulitFounding Principal and Chief Operations Officer at Forge Craft Architecture + Design. With 25 years of experience, Rommel founded Forge Craft with Scott Grinder to improve lives through the art and science of architecture and design. Rommel developed his architectural philosophy working on projects that span demographics, geographies and types at the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) with Rem Koolhaas, Page Southerland Page, Rhode Partners and BOKA Powell.

How often do you think about modular construction? Is it an idea whose time has come? There are those who view it as the only path forward that realistically checks all the boxes - are they right? The potential is clear, modular project delivery can save time, save money, and positively impact our current and looming labor and skills crunch on the construction side of the AEC. There is no doubt that relative to the current norm, the “holy triumvirate” of owner, architect builder*, modular delivery represents a disruptive force within the AEC. Modular may be exactly the solutions we need but also one that we are not currently embracing at scale. Why is that? What are the challenges and the opportunities for modular design, construction and delivery? Join us today to unpack those questions and more. Whether you're a seasoned modular developer or just a curious newcomer and novice this podcast has something for you. Kristof is joined by Chris Krager and Rommel Sulit who, collectively have soaked up decades of experience and expertise in the modular space. One of the challenges to understanding modular design and construction is that it is dynamic and evolving. This confluence of financial, technical and material perspectives means different things at different times to different stakeholders. Along with our society and the AEC industry, modular has a path quality, it is not static, by some accounts where we are now is Gen 4 modular. To fulfill its potential modelar delivery needs to reach backward to influence the design process and also to reach forward to construction. This reality, while challenging, is long overdue and it is perhaps the most relevant and powerful benefit. It forces, or at least strongly encourages, the AEC to finally do integrated project design and delivery at scale. *Quote by Rommel in the podcastRommel SulitFounding Principal and Chief Operations Officer at Forge Craft Architecture + Design.

Eric Höweler, associate professor in architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, joins the podcast today to discuss how design fits within contemporary culture, how it can affect behavioral and social norms, and how it can produce a sense of place or create environmental awareness. Besides lectures and teaching, Höweler is a partner at Höweler + Yoon Architecture which has received numerous awards including the Progressive Architecture Award, the Audi Urban Futures Award, the Design Vanguard Award by Architectural Record, the Emerging Voices Award by the Architecture League, as well as several national and local AIA awards and honors. Learning Objectives:Describe how Höweler incorporates the concept of “buildings to behavior” into the design process.Explain the design process of the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia.Discuss how designing The Coolidge theatre expanded the concept of a traditional space into a community center for people who love film.List some of the observations that Höweler mentioned became priorities to their students coming out of the pandemic including materials and the concept of home. Credits: 0.5 AIA LU/HSWSpeaker: Aaron Prinz

I started my career as a copywriter, and I learned a key part of my value to any client or any employer was not just the way I shaped words or filled a block with text – it was to advocate for the customer. Take their viewpoint.To this end, being an ‘order taker' was not going to help me create great copy. Or great marketing. I had to get underneath any requests or feedback I received from a client, to understand what they were really getting at, and hypothesize how the audience might react.So I love this lesson from my latest guest – ‘Figure out the problem.' A lesson she learned in her first job as an advertising account executive, and still uses to this day as a brand-side marketing leader.To hear how she learned that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories from her career journey, I spoke with Lynn McClouchic, Director of Brand, Marketing and Business Development, CannonDesign (https://www.cannondesign.com/).CannonDesign is the eight biggest architecture firm in the country, according to Architectural Record, and is the #2 most innovative design firm in North America according to Fast Company.McClouchic oversees a team of 60 creative writers, graphic designers, digital marketers, business developers, strategists, videographers, and photographers. Stories (with lessons) about what she made in marketingSome lessons from McClouchic that emerged in our discussion:Obstacles are opportunities to make things happenIt's about why vs. why notDon't stay in your laneFigure out the problemSupport is everything Dismissing an idea makes it more powerfulRelated content discussed in this episodeGet proactive about using AI in your marketing.

In inductive reasoning, what happens is you're given a solution, and you say, “Now, what problem can I solve with this?” That's upside-down thinking to a lot of people. But it's what we've been able to do–what I've done with everything, every new technology that's landed on my desk. I pick it up and go, “Wow! I don't know what the heck to do with this, but I'm going to try to find something.”Archimage founder and President Richard Buday built an architectural firm that used the skills and technologies of architecture to create visually appealing and educational video games.He explains how this happened:I've often had this discussion with other architects who say, “Richard, looks like you're having a lot of fun, but it's not architecture.”In fact, it is architecture. My firm began in 1983 under another name. We were early adopters of computers at that time. It was computer-aided design or computer-aided drafting, and we were just coattailing onto what was called the computers and architecture revolution at the time.As we were early adopters, we were getting the attention of new software companies, one of which was Autodesk. We knew the original founders of that company, and we became early alpha and beta test sites for a lot of their products, including their animation software. One thing led to another and 20 years into our almost 40-year history, we were doing video games. That's the short story, but it's still architecture.Here's a promo video for one of the games Archimage created.In Richard's work, he honed his ability to use inductive reasoning, making it a superpower.AI Episode Summary1. Richard Buday is the founder and president of Arc Image, an architectural firm that has ventured into video gaming.2. Richard's firm was an early adopter of computers in architecture, which caught the attention of companies like Autodesk. This led to their involvement in animation software and, subsequently, video gaming.3. Arc Image developed "serious video games" with Baylor College of Medicine to promote healthy behaviors, including a game designed to assist single-parent moms with children's eating and exercise habits.4. Richard reflects on architecture's role in society and advocates for incorporating narrative transportation theory into building design, making architecture more meaningful and communicative.5. Discussing the dangers of aging condo buildings, specifically high-rises, Richard points to the collapse of a tower in Florida as a symptom of homeowner association boards failing to address necessary repairs and maintenance due to psychological and social dynamics.6. Richard writes about various topics, including the challenges of maintaining aging condominiums and their reliance on homeowner boards for critical decision-making and funding.7. He sees his superpower as the ability to apply inductive reasoning: taking a solution and finding problems it can solve. This has allowed him to explore new directions in technology and architecture.8. Richard advises others to learn inductive reasoning skills and understand narrative transportation theory, which can powerfully influence behaviors for good or ill.9. To read Richard's writings on architecture and his views on persuasive design, he directs readers to Common Edge.org, where most of his articles are published.10. Richard Buday can be reached for further discussion and inquiries about his work through his email at arbor_day@archimage.com and his website archimage.com. He is open to engaging with interested individuals on relevant topics.How to Develop Inductive Reasoning As a SuperpowerRichard shared a story to illustrate how he used inductive reasoning to full effect during his remarkable career:We were working on Buena Vista's work for Walt Disney. Of course, Disney has its own animators. But we were brought in because we had an architect's eye that we could apply to the animation that was needed for those kinds of projects.But our whole path from standard architectural planning and designing, working with buildings and interiors to virtual environments–cities, societies living inside of a computer–came about because we were trying to find ways to apply our new technology to new kinds of projects. After a while, we started thinking along those lines. We had a tagline for the firm for many years called “Designing what's next.”By following Richard's example, you can make inductive reasoning a skill that enhances your work. With practice, you could hone it into a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileRichard Buday (he/him):President, ArchimageAbout Archimage: Archimage clients include Baylor College of Medicine, Compaq Computer Corporation, IBM, Knowledge Adventure, Nintendo, Northwestern University, the National Cancer Institute, the Texas State Education Agency, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, The Walt Disney Company, Time Warner Communications, and Ziff-Davis Communications.Website: https://www.Archimage.comOther URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArchimageBiographical Information: Richard Buday, FAIA, is an architect, writer, educator, and member of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects.

This week, we're exploring the rise of the single-family home and its many pitfalls, including the isolation brought on by large homes on expansive plots of land, exclusionary zoning that exacerbates social issues, and environmental factors like resource-intensive turf grass, massive energy usage for few people, and the necessity of cars. Luckily, however, new trends in housing are reshaping the way we live - from co-living spaces with shared utilities, resources, and perks to chic tiny homes to eco-conscious villages like Serenbe that encourage community, wellness, and biophilia. Our guest is Diana Lind, author of ‘Brave New Home', which investigates how the single-family home became synonymous with the American Dream before delving into the paradigm shifts making housing more accessible and environmentally aware. Diana is a writer and urban policy specialist whose writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Architectural Record and Next City, where she also served as Executive Director and Editor in Chief. Currently, she is the incoming Communications & Publications Director for the Penn Institute for Urban Research. Show NotesBrave New Home: Our Future in Smarter, Simpler, Happier Housing by Diana LindAbout Diana LindAgainst the White Picket Fence (New York Times)WATCH: Five Things Diana Lind taught us about housing (Philadelphia Citizen) Ideas We Should Steal: Treat Homelessness as a Health Issue by Diana Lind (The Philadelphia Citizen)Key Words: Urban Policy, Urban Planning, Housing, Housing Crisis, Biophilia, Biophilic Design, Wellness, Health, Zoning Laws, Suburban, Suburbia, Tiny Home, Environment, Climate Change, Climate Policy
