089: ‘Pick Your Battles’, with Altaf Ganihar

Special guest Altaf Ganihar of Snaptrude joins the podcast to talk about the lack of empathy within architectural firm leadership and the staff who are doing the work, the convergence of design tools, how entrenched the profession is in “the way we’ve always done things”, the importance of feedback loops in project design and software development, how important synchronous and/or asynchronous collaboration is in modern design software, what some strategies are that can be employed in a firm to switch from one software platform to another (an enormous hurdle in the profession no matter the size of the firm), the idea of a “building operating system for construction”, and more.
