Description

The traditional role of the architect is far too passive and uncertain. The profession has positioned itself to take a seat by the phone until we are called upon and commissioned to do work. Architects have long been charged with creating a better-built environment, but it is the developers who dictate what is if truth be told built in our cities. The decisions made by developers before architects are engaged in a project dictate later success. When the entire initial programming, market studies, and cost estimates are based on market averages, it is unsurprising when the final products in our cities are nothing more than average. Finally, architects have devalued their role to the pencil of the developer’s vision. 
By combining Architect & Developer, you’ll command a greater sense of keep watch over, faster decision making, an efficient process, and the potential of a much better profit. The largest hurdle to becoming an architect as developer is that first project. An entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to take risk is required. What developers do is not difficult, you want only have an appetite for risk. 
I sat down with over a dozen separate architects who are self-initiating their work. Some were doing this as a side hustle even as holding down a nine-to-five job, some were small studios that were dipping their toes into the development game, and some were full-blown Architects & Developers. I wanted to absorb what they have learned right through the process and consolidate the information into a digestible format. Architect & Developer includes one-on-one interviews from: 
DDG 
Mike Benkert, AIA 
WC Studio 
Barrett Design 
Guerrilla Development 
The UP Studio
