"I’ve never met a woman architect before..." podcast with Michele Grace Hottel, Architect
01/15/22 • 12 min
This is the third podcast episode with Mark R. LePage is an architect in New York and the founder of EntreArchitect and a partner in the firm of Fivekat Studio Architects wih his wife, Annmarie McCarthy. EntreArchitect is a community of Sharing, Support and Encouragement for Small Firm Entrepreneur Architects and has a podcast with EntreAchitect which interviews architects and others who have support systems for Architecture. Check out his many podcasts (there is even one with me) and The EntreArchitect Facebook Community which has reached 3,000 members. I want to thank the EntreArchitect and Charette Ventures for their great Party on Pier 66 and because we were so busy during the conference, I am not actually in this interview but Mark is answering the four questions.
"I think that the future of architecture, especially for small firms, is remote and integrated out lives is becoming integrated our lives are becoming more integrated, the future of small firms are the remote studios with remote teams our workplaces are becoming more remote, the large firms are the evolution of the studios, that they will grow from these remote studios to these physical offices
one aspect of the future of architecture, artificial intelligence and VR are absolutely here as well and are changing the architecture world...
Love. Learn. Share.
This is the answer to all of our problems, really care about one another, even if you don't agree with them, understand them., love them, not in the fluffy way, but truly love them.
when you have a question, go and learn the answer, when you have an interest, go learn everything about that interest
that leads me to share after you get that information, share it. share your knowledge with hundreds or thousands of other people like in the EntreArchitect community..."
be conscious of that and share those three words with someone else..."
Postscript: The EntreArchitect Community and "Context and Clarity" (an online forum that was started on April 6, 2020 to connect architects and affiliates during the pandemic is also on many social media venues:
