Ep 512EA512: David Warfel - The Critical Step Most Architects Are Missing from Their Design Process
The Critical Step Most Architects Are Missing from Their Design ProcessDavid Warfel is an overly sensitive, marginally materialistic, pseudo-tree-hugging Midwestern farm boy turned lighting designer. He’s been either lucky, talented, or wealthy enough to land design gigs from New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Las Vegas’ Luxor and MGM Grand casinos, from Chicago’s Hyde Park Arts Center and Museum of Science and Industry to residential and hospitality projects in a dozen states, and from schools and churches to multiple Royal Caribbean cruise ships. Judging from the old Honda in his driveway, it isn’t personal wealth.David finally figured out what to do with his life when he hit his 40’s and bought a foam mattress online. It was so easy to spend thousands without leaving his office that he wondered why you couldn’t get lighting design the same way, so he started Light Can Help You and his team now designs residential and hospitality projects nationwide and beyond.David’s work and writing have been featured in lots of places that no one could find without Google, like Technology Designer, Fine Homebuilding, Designing Lighting, Lighting & Sound America, Lighting Australia, Lighting Design & Application, Live Design, Theatrical Design & Technology, and on Houzz.com but he is usually reading Inspector Gamache novels or writing whatever comes into his head at his blog.This week on EntreArchitect podcast, The Critical Step Most Architects Are Missing from Their Design Process with David Warfel.Learn more about David at Light Can Help You and Language of Light, and connect with him on LinkedIn or YouTube.Please visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

His comprehensive body of work spans a wide variety of project types and sizes. Informed by his experience working with Herbert Beckhard (a former partner of the Bauhaus master, Marcel Breuer), Matthew subscribes to the philosophy that the strength of any architectural project lies in its unique set of components: Variations in the type, scale, scope, history and budget of a project influence innovation and design elements, thereby generating a uniquely specific response to each design challenge. Matthew believes that architecture is a holistic practice that should be environmentally, socially and financially sustainable. He challenges himself and the firm to consider each project in terms of 'the bigger picture', and to assimilate that understanding into relevant architecture that is an extension of the client's vision paired with the architect's talent.

Ep 480EA480: Nick Shiffer - Growing NS Builders with Content and Quality
Growing NS Builders with Content and QualityNick Schiffer started NS Builders in 2014, but his story begins much earlier. Even as a kid, he loved working with his hands—tinkering with a bike, building a mini-empire with Lincoln Logs, figuring out how to put things back together after ripping them apart. At age 11, Nick was already working in his Dad’s fencing business. Attending a vocational school marked a turning point—two classes, in particular, would profoundly impact Nick’s career path. Cabinet making and house carpentry shop fueled his passion for all things construction, and from then on, Nick knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life—build houses. Really amazing houses.After graduating from Fitchburg State University with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Technology/Management, it was time to leave the family business (not an easy decision). Accepting a job in Boston for a big company, Nick soon worked his way up to assistant project manager, completely immersing himself in the various aspects of construction management. Nick wasn’t letting go of his dream—to own his own business—and he worked at night on his own side projects, gaining experience through trial and error, discovering how to juggle multiple jobs effectively, and the financial side of running the show. He held himself and his work to the highest level and refused to settle for less.This week on EntreArchitect Podcast, Growing NS Builders with Content and Quality with Nick Shiffer.Connect with Nick online at NS Builders and Nick Shiffer, and find him on YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn.Referenced in this EpisodeContractor Coalition SummitPlease visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

Ep 479EA479: Bill Mandara - Culture Driven Vision with CEO of Mancini Duffy
Culture Driven Vision with CEO of Mancini DuffyWilliam Mandara Jr., AIA, is the chief executive officer and co-owner of Mancini Duffy, a national design firm with a 100+-year-old history and tech-forward approach based in New York City. Bill comes from a family in the business: his father and grandfather were general contractors. He got the most thankless tasks during his teenage summers at his father’s job sites. In retrospect, it was a great way to instill understanding and respect for the profession. It was also a not-so-subtle hint from his father that he should be thinking about architecture school instead.He had been at TSC Design for five years when Mancini Duffy purchased the firm’s assets in 2011, at which point he was named a Senior Associate. He was later named a principal in 2014, became co-owner of the firm in 2017, and was named chief executive officer in 2018.Throughout his career, Bill’s believed in having consistency of vision and values: that we should never put ourselves or our vision ahead of the client’s. This consistency lets us respond to our clients quickly, with clarity and authority.This week on EntreArchitect Podcast, Culture Driven Vision with CEO of Mancini Duffy with Bill Mandara.Connect with Bill online at Mancini Duffy, and find him on LinkedIn.Referenced in this EpisodeEA420: Christian Giordano – Reinventing a 100 Year Old Architecture Firm Through TechnologyEA394: Bolanle Williams-Olley – How To Manage Cash FlowPlease visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

EA473: Aron Croft – The Mysterious Connection Between ADHD and the Small Firm Architect
The Mysterious Connection Between ADHD and the Small Firm Architect Aron Croft appeared to have it all when he got into Harvard. But that was the beginning of his demise. He struggled nonstop for 15 years until he was broke, divorced, and earning minimum wage, failing out of his first 7 jobs and businesses. But after getting a Master’s degree in Coaching Psychology and a diagnosis of Inattentive ADHD, his life changed. He built a successful Fortune 500 career consulting to companies such as Marriott, Deloitte, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald’s, KPMG, and United Healthcare. He also got remarried, and most importantly, discovered how to get sh*t done with a neurodivergent brain. Now he's on a mission to raise awareness about Inattentive ADHD, how it goes under the radar, and how to rebuild your life post-diagnosis. His work has been featured by ADDitude Magazine, ADDA, and more. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Mysterious Connection Between ADHD and the Small Firm Architect with Aron Croft.
