How can architecture and design professionals embrace technological advancements such as AI, bridge the gap between physical and digital, and stay relevant in a rapidly changing field? On this Practice Disrupted episode, I talked with Ricardo J Rodriguez, the chief marketing officer for Master Builder Solutions, to discuss his career journey from traditional architecture practice to embracing AI and education in the industry. His path highlights the importance of a willingness to consistently learn, adapt, and seek unconventional opportunities in the rapidly changing field.First, Ricardo shares his background in architecture, including various challenges such as layoffs and industry shifts in DC that reflect some of the broader struggles within the field. He highlights the crucial need for digital implementation opportunities.Then, we also explore Ricardo's initial fascination and commitment to staying at the forefront of industry trends with AI and its visual applications within architecture. He talks about his journey into digital art, particularly in response to personal trauma experienced during Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. He explains how AI art is part of the evolution of art as a whole, how he gained recognition as a digital artist, and the details of his exhibition, Present Futures.I decided if I wanted to continue supporting, and speaking with folks in the construction industry about emerging transformation – I should do a deep dive into one of the trends that I knew least about, and take myself to the pieces of learning that I was uncomfortable with. - Ricardo J Rodriguez To wrap up the episode, we discuss Ricardo's passion for bridging the gap between AI and creativity in his efforts to develop a curriculum for architects and designers on image generation in AI. He shares his advice for emerging architects in an evolving field, his perspective on how AI impacts the future of the practice, and why he believes we should embrace these tech advancements.Tune in next week for an episode about the power of podcasting in architecture.

In today's episode, designer Patricia Ashleigh discusses her career path, her side-hustle, and the Young Architect community
Midst July after hosting a room on Clubhouse I was invited to join Michael Riscica on his podcast to talk about life, the Architecture Industry and building the Architecture Social. Here is the description from the episode:Some people take a long and winding route to realize that architecture is the field for them. Stephen Drew is not one of them. He always knew that he wanted to be an architect. He did temporarily entertain the idea of becoming a doctor, but his love for drawing and designing won out. Even his friends always assumed that he would become an architect. Stephen was passionate about graphic design and geography, which is an unusual combination. He went to the University of Westminster – that was his first time in London. He graduated into the global economic crisis and was worried about finding a job. Encouraged by a friend (who is now a famous You Tuber), he sent out a large number of CVs and ended up landing a job in a top firm as his first job.In today's episode, Stephen talks about his experience working in recruiting for architecture firms. He explains what architects need to understand about recruiters and also talks about the ins and outs of finding a job as an architect. Stephen also discusses the project that he started during the pandemic, Architecture Social. He explains what it is, how it started, and why it's interesting to young architects. Listen in to hear Stephen's thoughts on the word community, what he thinks about the Clubhouse app, and his advice for architects applying for jobs.

In today's episode, we are talking to LoriAnne Jones about her work as one of few Black women in the field of architecture in the United States and her efforts to bring in candidates from underserved communities into the profession through long-term mentoring.LoriAnne is a licensed architect, and project manager at DIGroup Architecture, one of the largest black-owned firms. DIGroup is driven by the philosophy of architecture for change. During her 14-year professional career, she's been responsible for design through delivery of a variety of projects, including those in K-12, higher education, the healthcare industry with a focus on community health center design With her affinity for design technology, Lorianne has helped strengthen her firm's capabilities in Building Information Modeling and Information Technology to grow the firm's competitive advantage.LoriAnne Jones is currently President of the Central New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects.Last year, LoriAnne Jones became the first black female to be named the 2020 Young Architect of the Year, a coveted AIA title. The award acknowledges LoriAnnes' exceptional leadership and significant contributions in the field of Architecture.Balancing motherhood with two children, ages five and 10 months, is no small feat as a working professional and during a pandemic. However, LoriAnne Jones is not only juggling motherhood and work, but she is also making time to mentor young minority high school students who want to become architects and college students in architectural programs to navigate and manage the rigor of the Architect Construction & Engineering (ACE) program to realize their dream as registered architects.To encourage the love of learning and interest in careers in architecture, LoriAnne is a reader in AIA New Jersey Storytime for children to introduce them to the profession and real architects. While the pandemic has limited in-person contact to many activities, it has not stopped storytime. The program, LoriAnne explains, has gone virtual. "We're doing online storytime, and architects are reading books about architecture and posting them on YouTube and making it, you know, something that families can enjoy together." LoriAnne says she is passionate about her mentoring role to open the door to more people of color in the field of architecture. She has spoken on the issue of diversity in the profession as a panelist in AIA New Jersey's six-part Diversity in Architecture Series.According to recent research, less than 2 % of architects in the U.S. are Black; and many students who study architecture do not become licensed architects often because they graduated from non-accredited programs. LoriAnne grandmother is an architect who owned and operated an architectural firm in Georgetown, Guyana long before the professional started recognizing women.LoriAnne is a graduate of Rutgers University with an MBA from its business school and a Bachelor of Architecture from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Nick Morof works for an architecture firm in Paris. Just a year out of architecture school at USC, he’s already established a solid career path, thanks to strategic internships in Detroit, Tokyo and the one in Paris that led to his current full-time salaried position. He talks about the strict Parisian quarantine protocol he lived through (fortunately his roommate has parents they escaped to outside the city), living in tiny apartments, and the self-driven qualities that served him well in getting through a rigorous architecture program. He also discusses how he’s been a careful spender, and why he moved abroad for work (which has a lot to do with the way that aspiring architects in the U.S. are offered a pittance for full-time work).
In this episode, I have a conversation with Marcial Jesus. He is an architect and the founder of 100 architects in Shanghai. He shares with us his experience in the architecture field from how he opened his office in Shanghai to why his designs have exciting bright colors!

Live from AIA 2019 our first interview is in the books...as we welcome Michael Riscica with youngarchitect.com. In this episode, we interview Micheal discuss his background and his path to & thru architecture. From growing up in New York, putting himself through school in Boston, cycling across America three times, and ending up becoming 'the client' as a Project Executive for the City of Portland, OR. Through this Michael fell in love with fulfilling architectural projects, & as a result decided to become a licensed architect. This, is where YoungArchitect.com really commenced and was created. In that, after 4.5 years of studying, getting to the finish line and discovering he was the only one he knew, in his fellow generational circle, that finished the exam. This is where his internal constitution took control, and started blogging about his tips & tricks of studying for the Architectrual Exam, in an effort to Shepard the next generation of architecture to become licensed Architects. Thank you Michael for joining us on The Edify Studios Podcast. We would invite you to enjoy this podcast and share it with your fellow architectural colleagues and friends!

Join Young Architect's Founder Michael Riscica as he fills you in with what is happening with the Young Architect Conference. This conference is for the community, by the community and specifically planned with the next generation of Architects in mind!
In this episode we were very lucky to have Michael Riscica from Young Architect in studio to discuss all the things that architects do to make sure a real estate project stays on track. Our eyes were opened to all the different things that go into a project that we thought were handled by other professions. It's not just all about coming up with beautiful and creative projects. It's about managing the permits, project management, construction, & much more! We also dive deep into how Michael helps architects pass their exams For more information: https://youngarchitect.com/ You can connect with Michael on Social Media here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YoungArchitxPDX/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/youngarchitect/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-riscica-aia-6a752b36 This week's giveaway: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield A beautiful book about the creative process and the creative struggle. How to treat our work as a practice and not an event. How focusing on the craft more then the results will have a greater return.
“I feel like this is the most important project I've ever worked on,” Mike said about his blog YoungArchitect.com. Mike Riscica runs a blog, podcast, and has built a thriving community for young professionals in the architecture field. The idea for the blog came from a pain point in Mike's life, and for many others – passing the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). After failing to pass the exam 4 times (before passing) and seeing his peers struggling, Mike started blogging about his challenges. “[My story] resonated with people in a pretty serious way,” he said, and he started seeing traction within the community. He started monetizing his blog from day one with affiliate products and continued to add more revenue streams to scale up his business with courses, speaking gigs, books, videos, and more as his traffic grew. Today his blog in a full-time business. He's had the opportunity to travel the country with his dog doing speaking gigs, has helped hundreds of students pass their ARE, and has some interesting plans for the future. Tune in to hear how Mike grew his blog, how it rings the cash register in at least half a dozen different ways, and the strategies you may be able to lift for your own project.
#4 - The Young Architect - with Matt T by Patrick Hilton
Co-founders of Let's Fix Construction, Eric D. Lussier and Cherise Lakeside, host the latest episode and start talking about the Summer construction season Summers as a contractor, as Eric's company is, is typically filled with project management and the physical construction of a building. However, this Summer of 2018 was filled with a heavy bidding climate for Eric, as well as many other contractors that he spoke with. Cherise, in contrast, who works in a design studio, found that 2018 has found that projects are not bidding when they would typically bid. Owners are looking for alternative methods to save money and get their projects built, including looking for alternative schedule to build. As a finish trade, Eric bemoans how the construction schedule typically squeezes the Division 9 contractors, especially the flooring guy, who are forced to work with other trades in the room in sub-par conditions such as non-weather tight rooms or with HVACs not running. The skilled labor workforce is discussed briefly as Eric spoke to a large Northeast General Contractor who is tackling not one, but two large projects in Burlington, Vermont. They presently don't envision having a labor problem themselves, but they do foresee that many of their specialty subcontractors will have issues staffing their work. The wages are out there, especially on prevailing wage projects. Turning the page on the Summer, Fall is quickly approaching. Typically in September, CSI's annual convention and affiliated tradeshow, CONSTRUCT is held. Eric and Cherise met at CONSTRUCT in Phoenix in 2012 and then went on to attend Nashville in 2013, Baltimore in 2014, St. Louis in 2015, Austin in 2016 and Providence in 2017. This year CONSTRUCT moves to October 3rd to the 5th in Long Beach, California and is coming up in just two short weeks. As Eric and Cherise outlined previously on the Let's Fix Construction blog, they find themselves quite busy in 2018: http://www.letsfixconstruction.com/blog/knowledge-innovation-collaboration-construct-2018 A new presentation debuts in 2018 for Eric and Cherise, titled 'Facing Danger: Public Speaking for Non-Public Speakers' and Eric wrote the concept for this session around Cherise's public speaking career, which launched at CONSTRUCT in Nashville five years ago. You can read more about the CONSTRUCT session here: https://explore.constructshow.com/Attendee/Schedule/SessionDetails/254418 The next presention hosted at CONSTRUCT will be the flagship presentation, 'Let's Fix Construction: An Interactive, Problem Solving Workshop'. CONSTRUCT in 2017 hosted an abbreviated version of this workshop, with about 150 attendees in 45 minutes. Being given twice the amount of time in 2018, many interesting conversations will be held about hot-button issues in the industry, and given the opportunity to talk to other disciplines outside of the contract, open conversations are typically held and enjoyed. In this year's Luncheon session is the 'Archispeak Interactive Luncheon: Real Talk About Challenges, Opportunities & Innovations Surrounding AEC Teams' hosted by Evan Troxel, Neal Pann, and Cormac Phalen. Cherise met Evan, Neal and Cormac through Twitter a handful of years ago and as a member of the CONSTRUCT Education Advisory Council, Cherise offered their name to speak at CONSTRUCT. You can check out their podcast at https://archispeakpodcast.com/ and more on the session at https://explore.constructshow.com/Attendee/Schedule/SessionDetails/254314 Cherise hosts the fourth annual Young Professionals Program on Wednesday, October 3rd, which was built for those 35 and under to provide the attendees with the training, networking, mentoring, and education that they need to boost their careers to the next level. The core session of YP Day is the two hour speed mentoring session where the attendees will meet one on one with leaders in the industry. Each party takes turns to learn more about their career paths, challenges they have overcome, and advice they have for each other. There is still time to attend YP Day at a discounted rate. Check out www.CONSTRUCTshow.com/YPday for more details on the schedule. The last CONSTRUCT 2018 session that Cherise is involved in is the 'POWER PANEL--Millennials as Successors: Misconceptions & Realities - Hear it from them!' Joined by Michael Riscica (aka Young Architect), Cam Featherstonhaugh, Kyhla Pollard and Tiffany Coppock on stage, Cherise is hoping to dispel some commonly held beliefs about their generation and what they want for the future of the industry. Read more about this panel at https://explore.constructshow.com/Attendee/Schedule/SessionDetails/254580 Thursday night, October 4th will be the second annual Partners and Pints event with our friends at Clark Dietrich.

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/BobBorsoncloseupHeadshot.jpg ()Life of an Architect with Bob Borson It’s been 215 episodes, and he’s back. His firm, his family, and the life of an architect. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Life of an Architect with Bob Borson. Background Bob Borson is a principle of https://mmbarchitects.com/ (Malone Maxwell Borson Architects), a full service architecture firm based in Dallas, Texas. The award winning firm is frequently published and is widely recognized for its thoughtful and considered designs. In 2013, they were honored as the AIA Dallas Firm of the Year. Bob is very active at his local and state components of AIA, where he serves on several committees and leads many initiatives. In 2009, he was recognized as AIA Dallas as Young Architect of the Year and in 2017 he was elevated in the AIA College of National Fellows. Many listeners may know him through his blog, LifeofanArchitect.com which has millions of listeners per year. He’s also a dedicated dad, husband, and traveler. A great tip he’s shared over the years is to sign up for the tours at AIA conventions. Origin Story Bob’s earliest recollection was that he wanted to be an architect. His dad, an engineer, encouraged him and got him a drafting board, a t square and a triangle for Christmas when he was about five years old. When he was a young man, a guy he knew bought a Porsche and Bob thought he was on the right track. For young people wondering if they’re going to be good at architecture, Bob always lets them know that he was terrible when he was in architecture school. He didn’t put the time and effort into doing what he needed to do, and had a huge identity crisis when something he thought he wanted to do his entire life he was seemingly not good at. Since then, everything has fallen into place. When you had that crisis and weren’t sure if you wanted to be an architect, how did your family react? Bob never told his family that he had that crisis of identity. His parents more thought that he was goofing off in college and wasn’t dialed in the way he needed to be to enjoy architecture as the path he wanted it to be. At one point, his sister told him that their parents were going to pull him out of school if he didn’t get his act together. How do you deal with the balance of firm and family? For what it’s worth, it hasn’t been hard to balance for Bob. Their firm isn’t very big with about 7 members, and they believe that you’re a better architect when you have other interests outside the office. They close the office on Fridays at noon and encourage people to get out. Their philosophy is that you’re a grown up and no one will do your job when you’re not here, but as long as you’ve handled the things you have to handle, nothing should get in the way. The culture has been established to create this balance. From the very beginning, they’ve always operated from this kind of philosophy. It’s hard to lead from the ivory tower and make a different set of rules for everyone else, so they don’t do that. It comes down to more than just money. If you’re an architect who wants to make a lot of money, there’s a career path you can put yourself on to make more money than other paths. The amount of work in high end residential work is way more hands on than a warehouse, and the fee scale will be different. As an architect, you can make decisions to shape how you’ll live your life. Some of it is financial, others are around how you spend your time, but they’re all interlinked. Tell us about how travel works with your family and your firm. Bob and his wife get a decent amount of time off, and they try to take advantage of that time that’s been provided by the stations they’ve achieved in their careers. In college, Bob did a study abroad...

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/unnamed-3.jpg ()The Pain, the Passion, and the Process of Becoming a Young Architect Let’s dive deep into what it means to be a young architect and what it takes to get licensed. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Michael Riscica of http://YoungArchitect.com (YoungArchitect.com) shares The Pain, the Passion, and the Process of Becoming a Young Architect. Origin Story Michael is based in Portland, Oregon is the founder of http://YoungArchitect.com (YoungArchitect.com). You can hear more about his bike journey from one side of the US to the other, plus how to get licensed and pass the ARE, check out his https://entrearchitect.com/?p=10446 (last podcast appearance). Young Architect Michael started Young Architect about three years ago after he got his license, with inspiration from Mark and many other bloggers serving their community. The mission has always been to help students, ARE candidates, young architects and other candidates be more successful. More recently he’s been talking more about how to share his mission and beliefs with others. Many young architects really need to be their own advocate, and, in Michael’s opinion, a lot of students graduate and flounder until they become a licensed architect. Although there’s a lot out there to create community with the AIA and other organizations, there’s an in-between stage that Michael wanted to address. He began writing blog posts clearly directed at those in different predicaments like looking for jobs, studying for the ARE and wanting to get licensed. Everyone has their own path, strengths and weaknesses, and the beautiful thing about architecture is that there’s such a huge place in jobs and opportunities with people with different strengths. Everyone has different gifts and passions to offer to the world. Different Roles Architecture school is a place for future architects to learn how to design and problem solve. It creates a safe place for students to experiment and take risk, while learning the fundamentals of design. They can learn to express themselves by learning from theory and from the past. Michael argues that so much growth and development needs to happen in architecture school, that having a complete understanding of how the profession works is too much to ask. You’re there to learn the basics of problem solving and design. The second part of an architect’s education begins once they finish school. He’s always believed that the young architect’s job is to advocate for their own development, but the profession as a whole should acknowledge their role in helping engender future architects. Although young architects may take an experience and learn from it and then move onto something else, that’s a necessary component of the process. Letting a younger intern person into your firm, acknowledges that, in some ways, they’re the future of the firm. They get to see the behind-the-scenes in the firm. In some ways, you need to treat the younger generation as though they may one day be your future client or even supervisor. On the other hand, young architects need to acknowledge the role they’re in: observing and learning to become the best that they can. You may not start out making what you want to make, but you can give everything you have to who you’re working with to get the knowledge you need to get to the next level. When you work hard and prove your value, you’re rewarded. Fluidity Like many other professions, architecture has moved into a space where people are not at one job for their entire lives. They may start somewhere, gain some knowledge, and then move on to something else. With advanced technology and greater connectivity, it’s easy to associate with people that aren’t in your local circle and do anything you want to do. Young Architect Podcast Michael...

For us licensed architects, we all dealt with the challenge of passing the Architect Registration Exam. For those of you studying to pass the ARE today, you’re working through that challenge right now. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage discusses How to Pass the Architect Registration Exam with Michael Riscica. As a creative child, Michael loved to draw, build model cars and create. After high school, he landed a job with an interior design school that told him he could have it if he learned CAD. He followed that with a few community college classes, and then attended the Boston Architecture College (BAC) at night while he worked full time. When he moved to Long Island, he finished his degree at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIY). During this time, he traveled and participated in various extracurricular activities. Where school previously hadn’t been one of his strong suits, the design studios in architecture school brought a passion where he realized he could have a career as an architect. While living in Boston, he fell deeply in love with cycling and began researching to complete a 400 mile bike ride from Boston to New York. In 2005, his dream of cycling across America was born and achieved when he rode from Virginia to Washington. In 2006, he hiked the Appalachian Trail for several weeks. After graduating in 2007, he made another trip across the US with a group of friends and decided to stay in Portland, where he’s lived and worked ever since. He began studying for his AREs in 2009, and had to take a two-year break because he was so burned out and exhausted. When he got back into it, he checked out for the entire year of 2013 and did almost nothing but studying and taking the exams, successfully receiving his license at the end of that year. With no room for creativity in the past few years of studying, he felt like he needed a new creative project: writing a blog for young architects. He put full effort into http://youngarchitect.com (Young Architect), sharing study successes, failure stories and the experience of going through the AREs. When several of his articles went viral, he used some content to write How to Pass the Architecture Registration Exam. With a lot of inquiries to help others get ready for their exams, he created the ARE Bootcamp to fill the gap between architecture school and preparing for the exam itself. In the ARE Bootcamp, small groups gather weekly for 10 weeks to move through a syllabus of what to study, how to recall the necessary information, and figuring out how to get up to speed to study for the exam. Once you take the program, you’re in the community forever. Michael’s been running the current ARE Bootcamp on his latest tour where he’s racked up 2800 miles in the last 50 days since the Philadelphia AIA Convention. He’ll be in Portland sometime soon to connect with the https://worlddominationsummit.com/schedule (World Domination Summit), a conference for creative people who are doing various projects to change the world.
