Investing in our future generations is so important

This is how we do it at Framework E !! Check out the note that one of our summer interns left for us before he went back home for his last year of #Architecture school at #prairieviewuniversity. We #teachandlearn everyday! #mentoring young professionals is one of the greatest joys of my professional life!

If there ever comes a time when we can manipulate time (let's just ignore how that statement can mess with the mind for now), would I take up the opportunity to do so? The age gap in our team can be up to 2 decades (20 years!!). And obviously it will only increase with time. Typical generational cultural disconnects aside, our respective professional attitudes inevitably also differ. It can be a source of conflict, even though the field of work is clearly the same - in design or architecture. This is further complicated when you bring in another party - the client. How they engage with us, will inevitably also be a reflection of how their own generation deal with matters concerning professional work. It can be complex dynamic! I very often struggle with finding the balance. It seems simple enough: understand the client, understand my team tasked to that project, understand my own professional expectations as someone approaching my mid-40s, understand the whole consultant team. Then give up and dive in with eyes open. Maybe that's all that matters. Treat the passage of time as what it is - something that ceaselessly moves forward, taking us all along for a ride so long as we are mindful, and don't take the minutiae too seriously. Afterall, as my parents used to tell me laughingly, despite my distinct lack of amusement, 'Last time policemen used to wear shorts....'. #prosearchitects #staycoolandfunky #policemenusedtowearshorts https://lnkd.in/ghgnFqNQ

I recently completed a project where I built a linear regression model to predict house prices based on square footage, the number of bedrooms, and bathrooms. This project involved data cleaning, feature engineering, and model training to create an accurate predictor of property values. #prodigyinfotech #Linearregression #Machinelearninginternship

In his time as an intern this summer, Parker has "learned a lot about the construction processes, job tracking and team leadership while out here this summer; however I have learned even more about myself and what possibilities lay in store" along with a greater understanding of the heavy civil sector of the industry. #RLWrocks #SummerIntern #ConstructionIntern #HeavyCivilConstruction

I had a chance to visit the Emerson College Los Angeles last week, and besides my uncontainable enthusiasm with another masterpiece of Architect Thom Mayne, I took a couple branding lessons. Emerson College is one of the top film schools in the country, and the LA campus was built as a satellite to accomodate 200 Senior studens of the Boston campus who come for a semester-long internship program in LaLaLand, the most important hub of the entertainment industry. With that in mind: - Investing in a state-of-the-art campus was a priority in order to offer the best possible experiences to the students, Emerson’s primary customers, offering innovative academic solutions while expanding interactive, social aspects of education. They make it clear that community is an essential value of their brand. - By choosing world acclaimed Architect Thom Mayne and his office Morphosis to lead the campus’ design, Emerson immediately puts its building on the Los Angeles’ landmarks map and creates a statement on innovation that will propel its brand for years to come. An incontestably impactful exposure. - By celebrating a design language that translates its brand values and vision, Emerson also created a secondary and powerful source of revenue by locating the facilities for movie, TV and commercial productions interested in framing its sculptural shapes on the screen, reason of my visit. Have you ever thought about how the values of your brand can be experienced by your customers in unique ways? When working on your business plan for the year, are you able to anticipate how your customers should feel in each touchpoint of their journey with your brand? Leave in the comments! This is what a Brand Architect does! :-) Thank you Tatiana Barzaghi for sharing your time, knowledge and courtesy, making my entire experience even better. #customerexperience #marketing #customerretention #branding #partnership #businessplanning #brandbuilding #brandmatchmaker #bmmmarketing

Follow us on @msa__atelier MSA Atelier functions as an educational platform designed for learning purposes. Operating within the framework of MSA, this entity facilitates the collection, organization, and dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the expansive domain of design. Conceived with the explicit intent of accommodating a multitude of knowledge-building endeavors, this entity stands as a conduit for diverse programs encompassing lectures, workshops, and immersive internship initiatives. True to its nomenclature, MSA Atelier serves as an avenue for acquiring knowledge, elucidating the intricate pathways through which information metamorphoses into the realm of design. This platform not only nurtures the growth of architectural practitioners but also extends its purview to encompass apprentices hailing from a diverse spectrum of disciplines, ranging from filmmaking to graphics, among others. The participation of these multidisciplinary apprentices enriches the design narrative, elucidating a perspective on architecture that transcends its conventional confines, elevating its significance beyond the mere construction of edifices.

I am so pleased - Summer School is a time to focus...do new things and explore techniques further - Allowing me to grow and try different things. find me here #tracycatchpole_designs and @tracycatchpoleart.com #makeitindesign @makeitindesign.com

Starting a new job in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry can be daunting. Especially for women and non-binary folks. But what if we empowered them to succeed on site? Nora Spencer, MSW, founder of Hope Renovations, empowers women and non-binary people through construction training and internship programs. Nora says, "When you hold power tools in your hands among a group of supportive women, your confidence soars! It instills a newfound self-belief, perhaps never tapped into before."
