The cost of isolation in this industry is significant. However, by cultivating a well-connected network of professional relationships, architects increase their chances of securing the ideal projects, attracting the right clients, and maintaining a steady flow of income to sustain and grow their practices. Building and nurturing these connections prove invaluable in creating stability and prosperity within the architectural field. In this episode of the Business of Architecture podcast, Enoch Sears and Rion Willard discuss the cost of isolation for an architectural practice.   ► Transcription: https://otter.ai/u/aan4RyJMbpVFYBCbx4AAxOevydk?utm_source=copy_url ► Feedback?

Balmiki heads NELSON’s Industrial practice from their office in Seattle where he's responsible for integrating design programs, maximizing operations and investments, and also helping create a strategic, sustainable plan for the firm’s future.  Balmiki has had a very distinguished career with over two decades of experience in different leadership positions working at several organizations including MG2, CallisonRTKL, The Taubman Company, and Starbucks before joining NELSON. In this episode, Balmiki provides insight on how a large practice like Nelson operates and the mechanisms that they have in place in terms of operations and business development.

In his work as an architect, Bruce saw a problem. He found that he often lacked hard metrics and data to inform or at least justify design decisions. As a result, he found that clients ultimately and frequently based their decisions on more hard and measurable data like construction costs. But how do we quantify or calculate the more intangible elements of design? More importantly, how do we justify these costs or expenditures to these clients who are, ultimately, footing the bill? As a result of his inquiry, Haden developed and spearheaded the design software application called FLUID Sociability that measures the sociability of buildings and spaces. Ultimately, this is a story that lies at the heart of what it means here at the Business of Architecture. Business of Architecture is simply this: When you have an important message and a mission, when you have value to give to the wo...

As a principal of Charlap Hyman & Herrero, Andre leads a multi-disciplinary practice based both in Los Angeles and New York. They work in various typologies - including buildings, products, set designs, stores, and interiors with the aim to create spaces that become worlds in and of themselves. In 2018, Andre was ranked among Forbes Magazine's 30 under 30 in their Art and Style category, and in 2020, their firm won the AIA LA Emerging Practice Award.
