AIA New York Design Forum
Our managing director joins the panel on design-build delivery in dense urban lots — how permitting, structure and cost get decided before the first sketch is finished.
AIA New York's design forum brings architects and builders into the same room to argue about how buildings actually get made in the city. We were asked to speak from the contractor's side — what a drawing has to survive once it leaves the studio.
The session
Our managing director sits on the afternoon panel on design-build delivery in tight NYC lots: how zoning, structure and cost get resolved together, and why the projects that go smoothly settle those questions before the design is finished rather than after.
Expect a working discussion, not a pitch — the value for the room is the friction between how a detail is drawn and how it gets built.
For attendees
Open to AIA members and guests; the forum is ticketed through AIA New York. If you're coming, find us afterward — the most useful conversations always happen once the panel breaks up.
