    Archispeak

    Archispeak is one of architecture’s longest-running podcasts — 383 episodes of honest, unfiltered conversation about what it’s actually like to work in the profession. Since 2012, architects Evan Troxel and Cormac Phalen have been exploring design, career, firm culture, tools, work/life balance, mentoring, generational differences, and job hunting — everything that comes with building a life in architecture.

    This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the conversation architects actually have — about the hard parts of practice, the moments that define a career, and the things no one tells you in architecture school.

    Built for architecture students, emerging architects, and seasoned professionals who want honest perspective on the profession.

    Topics include architecture career and job searching, design process and critique, firm culture, work/life balance in architecture, architecture tools and software, mentoring and professional development, generational differences in architecture firms, and candid interviews with architects and industry leaders.

    375+ episodes. Since 2012.

    Show notes

    In this episode, we talk about our experiences with punch lists. What are they? Who should be creating them? Why do they exist? We also talk about the practice of architecture being an adhocracy, what that means, and wonder if there’s any way our profession can change.
