  • The DEATH of tradition: A new WAVE in Architecture PRACTICE.

    The DEATH of tradition: A new WAVE in Architecture PRACTICE.
    Jun 22 2024
    Meet Tom Lewith formally of TDO but now with New Works, a new type of practice that operates a new business model. Tom and his business partner Doug Hodgson and fellow director Ben Rowe head up the business which is only a couple of months old. TDO went into 'planned' liquidation as they couldn’t see a way to make the traditional business model of architecture work. Out of the ashes often comes rebirth and New Works was born. In this episode, we explore why traditional ways of practising architecture are pretty much DEAD. We cover education, narcissism, mental health, new ways of working, collaboration, the role of the Principal Designer and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). New Works can be found at https://www.new-works.net/about --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebrokearchitect/message

  • Thinking Differently in New York

    Thinking Differently in New York
    May 24 2024

    I have with me today New York City Architect Bill Mandara, the CEO and Co-owner of Mancini Duffy. Bill has twenty-five years of experience in architectural design and is also a musician.


    Bill has contributed his design abilities on a variety of project types including industrial facilities, corporate offices, residential housing, retail facilities, and educational facilities but he is now best known for a massive project in the heart of Times Square (TSX Broadway) where a Theatre was lifted 30ft in the air but we will get into that.


    Bill also has vast experience in new building design and adaptive reuse of existing buildings and the practice exists in one of the most expensive cities in the world.


    We talk about the work of Mancini Duffy but also about leadership, repositioning projects, embracing technology and how Bill nurtures client relationships.
