Archispeak celebrates its 6-month anniversary! We reflect on the past 12 episodes and acknowledge Apple’s 1-billionth podcast subscription milestone. We then discuss why “good enough is the enemy of great” and explore why architects might design compromises into the project before it goes out of the studio/building. We also consider what you can do to not miss out on design opportunities during all aspects of a project, including within the office and engaging the local building officials.
