Overcoming Obstacles To Grow an Architecture Firm in New York City Côme Ménage is a French multidisciplinary architect based between New York, Miami and Paris. He founded his own practice, re-a.d, in 2017, championing projects that foster an intentional relationship between the individual and the built environment, exploring architecture as a medium for ideation and communion, facilitating growth and community. The work of the firm presents a globalized perspective to the portfolio of commercial, residential and hospitality projects, rooted in environmental stewardship and committed to accessibility. Practicing out of New York City, Ménage found many opportunities to renovate existing structures instead of building anew. As a contemporary practice, re-a.d is constantly evaluating their positioning in relation to past layers of interventions encountered in older buildings. The attempt to appropriately intervene within existing contexts can be seen on historical projects such as the renovation of a historical carriage house in the West Village as well as the renovation of a Greenpoint laundromat turned fine dining restaurant. Recognizing this work, Ménage was invited as a board member of the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation. This can also be seen through larger projects such as the renovation of a façade proposed on a 500,000 sq.ft. building at 63 Madison Avenue. This project earned the firm runner-up placement in the Metals in Construction Challenge 2020 organized by the Ornamental Steel Institute of New York. Ménage&#8217;s many interests bring richness to the projects at re-a.d. As a Certified Passive House Designer, Ménage brings sustainable thinking to the core of each design and has recently completed a project using a rainwater harvesting structure.  This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Overcoming Obstacles To Grow an Architecture Firm in New York City with Côme Ménage.

Experiencing the Profession from Two Unique Perspectives As a child Katherine knew two things for certain: she would become an architect, and she was not a boy. The path to architecture took her to the University of Wisconsin &#8211; Milwaukee School of Architecture and then into several prestigious midwestern architectural firms. Katherine&apos;s first architectural project was programming and designing the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre Complex. The award-winning project was the result of intense workshops and benchmarking sessions with everyone of MRT&apos;s company members. The project also proved that a non-profit theatre group could be the corner stone of a larger mixed-use development. The principles, of inclusive design and understanding the projects impact on the greater community informed her design process for the Over the next 30+ years. She has remained focused on designing performing arts venues around the country and in 2013 she founded ORCHESTRA Design Studio, to create spaces that encourage social interactions, celebrate our diverse cultural experiences so we can find our common values and transcend our fear of the other. Becoming her true self was a more difficult journey. A major milestone in the journey was coming out at NATEAC 2016&apos;s session on Inclusive Gender Design . She knew that being surrounded by her peers was the best time to leave the closet. Her reward was overwhelming support and encouragement. Given her a newfound confidence, inner peace, and happiness. Since then, USITT, IAVM, AIA, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and several corporations have invited Katherine to present on transgender issues and the importance of supporting LGBT+ rights. She is looking forward to being part of the updated session Design for All Genders &#8211; Inclusive Design for Practitioners and Patrons at NATEAC 2021.

Reinventing a 100 Year Old Architecture Firm Through Technology Christian Giordano is the most innovative person in the architecture field today. A visionary who is radically changing the industry through tech-first innovation, he has been highlighted as one of Building Design + Construction&apos;s 40 Under 40 Class of 2013. Driven by a quest of disruption with 25+ years of experience, Christian the Anti-Architect is reimagining the building industry with a progressive approach as president and majority owner of Mancini Duffy, a NYC-based architecture and design firm. Giordano came to the 100-year-old firm with a vision to modernize the company, leaving any idea of a stuffy architecture outpost behind, noted Real Estate Weekly. To redefine Mancini as a top design firm, Christian has sparked industry wide change drawing inspiration from some of the tech-forward companies Mancini works with like Peloton, Disney, Verizon, and Soho House focusing on technology that can propel the world of design forward. Christian saw a unique opportunity to recalibrate Mancini&apos;s approach emphasizing technology to transform the way designers across disciplines work. He launched a research &amp; development incubator dubbed the Design Lab which brings together designers, technologists, and clients to leverage technologies like Virtual Reality, 3D Printing, Drones, Generative Design, and Artificial Intelligence to break barriers limiting design capabilities. What began as an internal incubator, it has quickly grown to disrupt the way the design process is facilitated. In 2020, Christian completely revolutionized the design process as the inventor of the patent-pending The Toolbelt, a software suite that allows users to explore and manipulate 3D models collaboratively to explore and make decisions together. In 2021, Christian launched The Anti-Architect Podcast to share his futurist approach to design and architecture. A critical look at how architects work with their clients and how our clients see us. Christian is a member and board member of the prestigious Young Presidents&apos; Organization (YPO) and also serves on the advisory board of New York Building Congress and Ranney School. He received his Bachelor&apos;s of Architecture from University of Miami and his Masters of Architecture from University of California, Los Angeles where Frank Gehry was his professor. Christian resides in Monmouth County, New Jersey with his family. He owns over 500 bootleg CDs of Bruce Springsteen concerts and is a skilled extreme cake decorator.

In a career spanning more than two decades, Hans has lent his expertise to the construction industry in a wide variety of roles, including as a steel fabricator, framing contractor, engineer and technology leader.

Association of Professional Builders Sky Stephens is the co-founder of the Association of Professional Builders, a business coaching company dedicated to improving the residential construction industry for both builders and consumers. Sky is a firm believer that residential home builders deserve to be earning more money for the service they are providing and that consumers deserve a superior service than they currently receive. The problem is the difficulty of delivering world-class service on tiny margins, or without having the proper systems in place. In order to maximize client experience and overcome these difficulties, the Association of Professional Builders helps builders systemize their building company. The result is an improved client experience which leads to more demand. This allows an increase in margins and ultimately the ability to scale their businesses into desirable building companies that possess real value and can be sold as an asset.
