Architects Gone Wild: Why You Need a Tech-Savvy Designer

Do you remember the days when architects used to sit at drafting tables, pencils in hand, creating beautiful designs with the power of their imagination alone? Yeah, neither do we. In today's world, technology is king, and architects need to be able to keep up if they want to survive in the competitive world of design.

That's why it's crucial to hire an architect who is up-to-date with the latest trends and advances in technology. Think of it like hiring a tech guru for your project – someone who can harness the power of cutting-edge tools and techniques to create designs that are out of this world.

Not convinced? Let's take a closer look at some of the benefits of hiring a tech-savvy architect.

First off, a tech-savvy architect can help bring your vision to life in ways that were previously impossible. With tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM), architects can create highly detailed, 3D models of their designs that allow clients to see what the finished product will look like before a single brick is laid. And if you want to take it to the next level, architects can even create virtual reality models that allow you to walk through your future home or office before construction begins.

But it's not just about creating pretty pictures. A tech-savvy architect can also help you save time and money by streamlining the design and construction process. By using tools like BIM, architects can detect potential clashes or conflicts in the design before construction begins, reducing the need for expensive change orders down the line. And with advances in 3D printing and other technologies, architects can even create detailed models of building components, making it easier to spot any issues before they become major problems.

Of course, not every architect is created equal when it comes to technology. That's why it's essential to do your research and find an architect who is at the forefront of the latest trends and advances. Look for an architect who is always experimenting with new tools and techniques, and who is passionate about using technology to create innovative designs. And don't be afraid to ask for examples of their previous work to see just how tech-savvy they really are.

In conclusion, if you want to create a truly awe-inspiring building or space, you need an architect who is on top of the latest technology trends. So, do your homework, find a tech-savvy architect, and get ready to take your design to the next level. Who knows – you might just end up with the coolest building on the block!

Flow is a culturally diverse architectural ecosystem where everyone has a voice and a shot at making a better world through the use of materials, form, and space. Our design philosophy is fueled by the strengths and skills each partner brings into the table to achieve a common purpose: great and impactful architecture for humanity. The process is essentially an organized oasis of resources working in harmony via thoughtful collaboration.

Flow is rooted in the dream of the firm's founding partners to make a place for those without a place in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry. This dream became an obsession, and it sparked momentum when the firm was invited to participate in the 2019 Licensing Advisors Summit hosted by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards in Minneapolis. This is where NCARB shared a picture of the board members from all states and jurisdictions and none of them was a person of color. Michael Armstrong, CEO of NCARB, acknowledged that this was a problem and that they did not know what to do about it. Flow founding partner Darguin Fortuna believed that was a problem too and that the firm FLOW would insight change over the years.
