The Business of Architecture

Episode 20 04/10/2024

The Business of Architecture: Designing your own firm. The dream of many ambitious designers and architects is to be their own boss. Have complete creative freedom, control the finances, and have a greater professional flexibility, work when they want where they want. But starting an architecture firm is very different from working in the profession. We sit down and talk with three local firm owners: Aaron Bass of Stance Architecture, Caroline Lobo of Suoll Architects, and Tommy Suchart and Patricia Chen of Chen+Suchart, about their journey to being firm owners.

Lessons From Abroad II

Episode 19 04/10/2024

Tracing Architecture was again awarded a grant in the fall of 2023 to share the stories of two individuals who’ve benefitted from the support of the Arizona Architecture Foundation – a group whose mission is to enhance the welfare of the Arizona community by promoting excellence in architecture and the built environment by supporting the education of future architects, supporting and promoting the profession of architecture, and preserving the legacy of Arizona architecture. In this special episode, we highlight the Foundation's support of our community in developing young professionals, through exposure to unique experiences in travel across the world. We are joined by Karl Eicher, AIA and Mia Austin, who both traveled to Japan as recipients of the 2020 Robert Saemisch Prize and the 2023 Sean Murphy Prize, respectively, and learn how their lives were impacted by the experience.
