What a racist thing to say

Can this apply to Landscape Architecture?

What are all of the 7 or 8 phases?

Yes, indeed

Looking forward for the next episodes related to LA =)

It’s not exploring your imagination, it’s generating images that you’re going to pretend of yours

Heard Georgina for the first time, she's a breath of fresh air in the community! Very meaningful and insightful conversation.

🥱🥱🥱👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Music and Architecture. One needs to recognize the value of the work of John Cage as he regards the space between the notes. Possibly, in Architecture, there is that intangible, uncontrollable element that actually determines the whole of its beauty. Architecture is not simply an object observed.

Australia represent! Her tik tok’s go hard

❤ you guys are awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing. Hearing these candid conversations from current architects is so insightful.

So not being an architect, but being from Buffalo, my first pick (and keeping with Wright) has to be the Larkin Building, which Buffalo in it's grand stupidity tore down to build a parking lot! But that was Wright's first commercial building which housed and open floor plan and his version of a building cooling system! My second would have to be his Darwin Martin house, not alone because of it's architecture, but because I worked on it's renovation, and then it was a Wright House! My third would have to be Gehry's dancing house! That, because it does not resemble Fred and Ginger dancing, but growth by the columns coming out of the sidewalk, symbolizing to me the building growing out of the sidewalk!

I love these types of episodes

I’m curious if Noah self discovered the spiral design process or was taught that by a mentor. One of the first principals I worked for who also spent time at MR described design resolution and decision making in a similar way.

I've been following Georgina on youtube for a few weeks and her simple approach to highlighting obvious solutions is uncanny. Given her ability to present and perform, she is just a natural for television. Appreciate the way you guys effortlessly interact with high calibre professionals - a joy to watch.

I am following Georgina's work and am aware of her skills but it was such a nice surprise to hear how modest and grounded she is. I would be interested is also hearing some solutions on this podcast, to our incapabilities as architects, such as the problem of communication.

Dumbest stuff I have heard in my life. Getting the License is hard the AREs are hard. It's better to get your license sooner rather than latter in your career. I know a lot of designers that didn't pursue there license, because they were deep in their career and didn't have the time for the tests. IPAL is great.

So I get distracted easily, and started affixing on the terracotta block in the background! Is it actually a building block, and if so how is it used? My first guess would be landscape type of stuff, as it would be hard for it to incorporate building type needs (electrical boxes, etc) into it! So I may be totally off base, and it may be just a decorative thing, but sense she had other things like stone facing block, etc. my thought it is a terracotta block used in some way!

I laughed when you talked about how managing a model is a full time job. It can sometimes feel like you're the parent putting all the toys away at the end of a kid's party haha. Managing and creating components and managing the metadata in a file can be satisfying to us left-side brained people.

Surprised you didn’t discuss cost per SF. All of the architects I interviewed quoted me a cost per total SF of the design. I would not pay based on construction costs. That makes no sense to me. Then again, my architect will not be involved in the construction phase.

I'm actually doing my dissertation on this topic, impact of BIM on the art of architecture design. I'm a student in BA Arch now but worked in BIM for 8 years, and studied Arch Technology and Interior Design before. Anyway, I agree what you said especially about the unsuitability of BIM in the artistic sense of developing a concept design. I would say that BIM was centred around a data infused model but these days BIM is evolving to be about information collaboration and management, the model is becoming second place or at least equal. The other point is that although BIM is naturally associated with architecture design , I don't think it was specifically developed for the concept design stage, it was for the procurement stages of Schematic design and Detail Design. That said, existing creative tools like Sketchup and Rhino are what I would use at early stage, the BIM side would just be the efficient collaboration through the CDE (Common Data Environment) Anyway it's an interesting discussion😊

thank you for this important conversation!

thanks for all the great content. just starting on the journey of tearing down my childhood home and building a new one. i've listened to 6-7 of your podcasts so far and am learning so much.

These recent podcast have really widened my perspective about what design-build really is. I also liked how Noah articulated his thoughts around his firms design process. I would like a bit more of an explanation about the conceptual approach to design Noah mentioned, this topic still seems a bit elusive to me, and I’d like to know how successful architects integrate it into their process. Great podcast.

17:32 If they were talking about the building being beautiful (facade wise, massing wise, etc) , then honestly yes it is relative. Of course, it also depends on how they come across with it. If they demanded the use of these principles in every design killing the freedom of thinking outside of them then that’s where I would disagree with them. However, if they recommended the use of these principles with design suggestions that would provide visual pleasure for the facade, or massing, then that’s relative to Architecture. While I agree that there’s still no objective rule to follow that would automatically make something beautiful, it doesn’t mean that the consideration of these principles while designing something during certain situations has nothing to do with Architecture.

Interesting topics and discussion. It resonates with some of Thomas Heatherwick's manifesto "Humanize" so not sure if either of you have been influenced/inspired by his studio's practice. As for favorite building, that a tough one as I concur with architecture centering on emotion so it like picking you favorite song or book. But if I had to pick on at this moment I would choice another Piano masterpiece, the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia.

I could not agree with you more Marina, Architecture is the projection and solicitation of emotion.

An interesting discussion! Our current practice of architecture requires a delicate balance of implementing the principles of design while also listening to client biases (which at times contradict our professional understanding of architectural aesthetics).

99.9% of residential plans givin out by an architect are incomplete. They are missing plumbing, electrical pages, and specifications. I have reviewed and bid on hundreds of plans. In the commercial sector, it is different. The median (not the lower half) of general contractors will hire or work with an architect and a designer as the budget permits. Most Architects will design a customer right out of the customers budget. Then the mistakes the architect make fall om the General contractors shoulders to correct. Yhe architect will miss important items such as hvac chases, variations in wall thicknesses for plumbing, lack of clearances around doors for proper door swing and for trim clearances. Should you hire any general contractor to handle design, NO but the median or above should be competent and a good General Contractor will far exceed 99.9% of residential Architect.

This is an awesome platform would love to have you on our podcast sometime

Man life is tough, a student here with a stresk of over half a month of pulling all nighters this semester alone. They really killing us slowly, and my final jury submission is tomorrow, 1 day after another submission 2 days after another submission and 2 days agter snother and then 5 days left only for the finals, if i ever die before 50, the reason is these all nighters

I had no idea too. 😢

If I may play devils advocate? Isn’t intense dedication a contradiction to healthy work life balance? If architecture school is the introductory experience to professional practice, and schools claim to be concerned with mental / physical health and fair compensation, then should this process start in school? How can students develop a healthy relationship to their work if they are overburdened with information and assignments on a shortened time frame? As always, I REALLY value your podcast and your expertise in the field. And thanks for interviewing landscape architects as well as interior architects.

17:05 I can completely relate. Somehow I thought my concept was the most important part of a project. Almost as if THAT is what I was supposed to be refining and presenting at the final critique. I would get very philosophical and diagrammatic in explaining what I thought were revolutionary ideas, and completely lack in supportive drawings to present the actual building. Unfortunately, in later years, I got really good at cramming all of the technical requirements in during the last week or two before final crit, and I formed a terrible habit of over emphasizing conceptual ideas and racing through the brief requirements with a handful of all-nighters. I'm still trying to correct this habit with time management and calendaring tasks like you've mentioned. I also feel that bit of rage against the professors who had no idea how to put a building together. I still hold the belief that academia needs to better prepare students for life after school through actual real-world practice problem solving.

Never Never pay an Architect a percentage of total cost to build. If any Architect even mentions it, Just get up and walk away. If on the phone just hang up the phone.

Model: DGC68001BRWS Has this ever happened to you? There is a buzzing sound and then "Miele" displays then black then "Miele" then a white streak then black repeat. What is the fix? This is the 3rd time this oven has failed and maybe I just need to get something different. I wrote directly to miele but never have much luck with their CS, even when under warranty. I would just like to know if it is worth it to have someone out.

Lol i watched this once when i was in school going thru it and again just now, having since graduated, and it's still relevant. It's hilarious and interesting and very honest that you guys mention the contradictions of architecture, then proceed to attempt to explain it (which I thought ended up being exactly what it needed to be; as thorough as it was complicated) by inevitably contradicting yourselves. Architecture is a VERY dualist profession at its core, which is what makes it both lustfully intriguing and absurdly difficult. It's a rollercoaster of ups and downs but imo that's what makes it a career worth doing, it can always put up a good fight if your brave enough to walk it down 😆👊 i enjoyed the dual perspectives you both gave, coming from an empathetic view and making your way to the tough love -- that David Goggins type of 'just shut up and work' very endearing charm lol

Woooooowwwwwwwwww! I'm amazed, impressed, surprised and struck at the same time.. That's a well put sentence.

Yup! I would rather focus on creating big design ideas than focusing on graphic design presentation. Client's focus on their space not your presentation

Design development is tedious work and a lot of thinking

I really enjoyed this interview.Leo Marmol,is fascinating!

Great podcast as always 👏

Thank you for the excerpt, I am learning on the job as an architect now.

really apreciate this video, thank you very much

This was awesome, im not an architect but a landscape designer and this chat helps a lot

Great pod! One thing that has always bothered me is realtor fees compared to architectural fees. I am an architect in SoCal and constantly see realtors making 6% on home sales and architects making 10% on construction costs. Most homes that I work on the construction cost is 3-4M, the sale price though is typically 5-6M. Essentially our fee is the same as a realtor but the work is vastly different.

Enjoyed this

Industrial design and architecture are actually very similar. I have concepts on architecture that uses industrial design thinking. I can’t do them on sites because I would need an architect’s license to do it. Now I know why some architectural firms are looking for industrial designers. Didn’t know when I was talking to one architect.

It’d be interesting to see to see you guys talk to Paul Basile
