219: Freedom, Flexibility and Passive Income as an Architect with Amelia Lee
20/10/2017 Duração: 58minDiscover how this architect built a business that allows her to help more people, and gives her the impact, freedom and flexibility that matches her family lifestyle. In 2013, architect Amelia Lee had a big year, personally and professionally. It started with a personal tragedy and culminated with a trip to Uganda to meet people courageously (and against all odds) ending their own hunger and poverty. She saw in person what happens when you educate and empower someone to believe things can be different -- that they can make a difference and reach a different destination. She came back home to her husband and 3 small children. She looked at the dreams they had been delaying because they weren't 'ready': financial goals, career goals, and personal goals. She thought about all the reasons why she wasn't living the life she really wanted … and realized those reasons were excuses. She wanted a family-centered, flexible life, where she was really making a difference in how people live in – and beyond – their homes.

218: Alternate Careers for Architects: Experience Design with Jason Bruges
10/10/2017 Duração: 30minToday is a UK edition of the Business of Architecture. In this episode, my co-host Rion Willard speaks with Jason Bruges, an experience designer and the director of Jason Bruges Studio. After being educated and trained as an architect, Jason moved over into experience design. Today Jason Bruges reveals how he leveraged his training in architecture to found and direct one of the world's leading experience design firms. You may ask, what is experience design? Basically, experience design is the design of the environment with a special focus on the experience that a person has as they move through that environment. Jason Bruges Studio creates interactive spaces that combine architecture, art installation and interaction design, which basically means these spaces and installations respond to the people who inhabit them. Every now and then I like to bring on a guest that has used his or her architecture degree outside of the traditional realm of architecture - today's interview is an example of that.
