The pulse around here, with myself and other architects that I've been talking to, is an oddly busy one. During the holidays, we're typically cleaning out our desks, making projections for the new year, planning ski trips, basically filling our schedules with C-Time activities. However, I myself have been turning out various projects and deadlines. My desk is very messy and I've had no time to ski my home mountain,much less plan a trip.
Are any of us complaining? Absolutely not! We feel blessed, not only can we be billable during a typically non-billable time of year, but this is giving us an extremely positive indicator of what 2011 may bring. And that appears to be a few more steps out of this recession.
Another exciting thing, at least for this architect, is that the source of the work seems to be changing. JR has promoted an approach to design from a three dimensional aspect from day one - where the design profession has been traditionally filled by 2 dimensional plans and other "descriptive" types of documents (all of which are critical to building but typically confuse the layperson); JR has made it a point to communicate with the client in terms that the client can understand. This includes 3d renderings, video, and other types of media. Well, the rendering and video part has transformed into a side service in and of itself, and the more JR can offer clients the better for JR and the client!
Happy Holidays and feel free to stop by for a chat!
