ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Seventy episodes in, the hosts step out of the host seats. Danny Porter from behind the scenes dives in with Nick Karakaian and Paul Fatkins about how Arcfluence was built, where new technologies fit in a working architecture practice, what the next stretch of the firm looks like, and the studio they're about to move into.
Conversations along the way: why podcasts work in 2026, what Bill Griffith and Brunelleschi can still teach an architect, Nick's frame of designing around himself in real time, Paul's twenty-year vantage on the change in the tools and what they actually give you (time), Danny's frame of AI as a cartographer rather than an oracle, the complementary strengths that make the team work, and the question Danny puts to both founders at the close: what would you tell a twenty-year-old considering this field in 2026?
