Ask An Architect (Part 1) -- Honest Answers About the World of Design | AB Ep. 34

Ever wondered what architects really do all day, why projects take so long, or where design ideas actually come from? In this Architecture Beyond special, host Brandon Gibbs, AIA, NOMA opens up about the creative process, the challenges behind the drawings, and how technology is reshaping the profession.This 20-minute episode dives into the top five questions people always ask architects — from the truth about budgets and creativity, to career advice for the next generation of designers. You’ll also hear Brandon’s personal reflections from the NOMA 2025 Conference in Kansas City, where architects, students, and leaders gathered to celebrate diversity, mentorship, and the power of community in shaping the built environment.💬 Have a question you’ve always wanted to ask an architect?
