Tosh K replied to Chris's discussion 'Anyone work at a high design firm?'"I imagine an office with multiple principals like SWA or OLIN now is different than a single name head firm.
It's generally not smart to speak about past employers, especially on a public thread, so I hope you're getting some…"
landplanner replied to Chris's discussion 'Anyone work at a high design firm?'"Wow, MauiBob, we both see it the same way for once. Let's go for twice.
Anyway, I worked for a year at SWA, and what I remember most were the team crits that were sometimes as harsh and overly inquisitive as those we received in school. Was the…"
mauiBob replied to Chris's discussion 'Anyone work at a high design firm?'"Honestly...who cares about these so-called BIG time firms? Olin, Hargreaves, Swartz, Walker, Valkenberg...phooey!!

Just curious how involved the owner is in every design or if they allow folks to run with their own designs? How heavy handed are some of these firms…wouldn’t blame them if they are, it’s their name of course!Was it an enjoyable experience? Learn a lot?See More

We did the project two years ago and his intention was both to gain a marketability benefit to his practice as well as be a good…"
Ed Dermody replied to Chris's discussion 'The over emphasis of LEED in the profession...'"I would suggest that knowledge of LEED design is very important to our industry because it is important to our clients. That said, I see two issues. The first is that LEED is a marketing tool and most clients believe that when they hire…"

Brian Lin replied to Chris's discussion 'The over emphasis of LEED in the profession...'"LEED is irrelevant.
