Architecture Is Human: Part IV – Craft: Beyond Building

We speak, but we also write poetry. We whistle, but symphonies resound. We can eat a protein bar or a seven course meal. Our needs do not limit our desire. That is true of making things. The places of instinct, the nest, the burrow, the anthill, do everything needed, they solve the problem, but they […]

Architecture Is Human: Part III – Context: The Cauldron

We are all somewhere. None live solely in our minds, or on the glowing screen you are seeing here. We all have a context, an origin point, a place. Humans are not satisfied with instinct, they create. Everything is made in a place. That place is where the needs and desires of those who wish […]

The Six Layers of a Healthy Referral Strategy

Architecture Is Human: Part II – History: The Other Gravity

Every second passes, and there was a before, now and after. Unrelenting. Unchanging. On every thing we see, hear, taste and touch. Time is universal. It is so pervasive, so overwhelming, that we often simply ignore it. We want to live forever. We want to freeze time. We revel in the past, we want the […]

Architects Adapt to ‘Big Data’

People produce data, lots of it & Big Data can capture it, all of it.

Architecture Is Human: Part I – The Humanity of Making Things

Humanity is distinct from all other life on earth because, for us, instinct is inadequate. So it is with architecture. Outcomes in architecture are twofold.

What Is Your Favorite “F” Word

Yes, you read that correctly. As a Sandler Trainer, my favorite F word is FUDWACA. Yes, FUDWACA, but more on that later. We have all heard the term 30-second commercial or elevator pitch.  We all most likely have a few different versions, depending on our audience. The 30-second commercial is not a new technique.
