Life of an Architect Podcast Ep. 145: Delegated Design


By Bob Borson, FAIA | February 26, 2024

Contractors, armed with their on-the-ground experience and expertise, take on specific design tasks to optimize construction processes and ensure the feasibility of the architectural vision... but I’m not sure I believe it yet. Welcome to Life of an Architect episode 145: Delegated Design (will it kill us all?)
