#323 - The Life Afforded

We discuss Cormac’s snow shoveling incident and then go deep into talking about work-life balance and how architects often struggle with this, and what it means to truly be an architect. We further discuss the impact of emerging technology on architecture, particularly regarding the impending release of Apple’s Vision Pro headset.We also explore the industry’s work culture, explore some intital thoughts about the importance of having a side-hustle, highlight the necessity of architects to continuously adapt, learn, and evolve.Finally, we touch upon the financial implications in architectural projects and the conflicting demands of design aesthetic and budget constraints… yes, the age-old complaints about “value engineering”.-----Thank you for listening to Archispeak.
