I absolutely love these Office tours, especially for someone coming from a country where the workflows and tools discussed are relatively alien. I think the most important takeaway from today's tour is getting architects to a point of using design tools and AI to improve (design) exploration rather than simply generating Instagram/social media content. BIG shoutout to the ATN team (pun intended)

@@evanschwartz3030 Ditto this. Naive young architect. Expect to be worked into the ground with mandatory overtime, for chump change comparing to other industries. While the fat cats at the top and Norman are getting rich of your hard work. When i big project falls through expect to be fired/sacked/layedoff at the end of the fiscal year while the partners will cut big bonuses for themselves. It's the same story for all the major starchitect offices, don't buy and fall for the PR.
So what is this after all? Far from being an architectural studio, it is more of an IT studio or firm. Did you get a chance to film their server farms or data centers? 😀
I mean its a video about the technology people in the office......its called Archi-Tech Network....literally spells it out in the channel name. Even so, you think because architects are using technology its no longer an architecture studio?
Oli i think that an interview with Patrick or Bjarke could be perfect. Otherwise how much money you do working in those kind of offices. This is amazing because you and the other guys like Tim , Mariana , Shantal etc are the must important architects around the world. I think that the must important offices are in London. Im an Architect im from Mexico and the next year im gonna postulate a master there so It is amazing for me all the information that u give us because It doesnt have the enough exposure in our context. We know for sure who is Zaha , Bjarke , Foster but they are Only into the books or Instagram . But Watch videos how the life is around them really motivate the people. Thanks for the content and we will be watching again. (Apologies for my bad English)
Your english is indeed poor but what really concerns me is your almost religious like devotion to the various complex computer mumbo-jumble stuff you think is the future of architecture today and tomorrow. Let me assure you computers aren't the answer, Alvar Aalto, Lou Kahn, Le Corbusier, Aldo Siza and a host of other architects would disagree with the way Foster's office operates (functions). What's missing from most of today's techno stuff is something called humanism!
I cannot upload my details for a job in there and when asked them about the process failure, no one has flinched a word, norman should wake from his bed and fire the recruitment team.
Great work, lots of interesting info on how these guys work.

Always thumbs up for highly interesting content of studio tours 👍😎
Much appreciated!
GREAT TOOL TECH DEVELOPMENT! awesome Tour!!
Thanks so much!
Killing it !!
Thanks!
I hope someday I'll be working at Foster and Partners!
Interesting video btw!
Working for Fosters' office may not be what you're hoping for. All that glitters isn't necesarily gold!
@@evanschwartz3030 but they are doing so many cool projects!

Awesome tour👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!
Amazing content!
Appreciate it!
Amazing . Thanks Oli. Can u show us all into the Architectural Association DRL please?
Yea we have got a few requests to show universities, if people want it we will make it happen!
Hey Oliver,
Great podcast as usual.
Would be great if the people at Foster can elaborate how Hermes is different from Speckle though.
Excellent tour
Thank you! This is very useful
Glad it was helpful!
I wish to work with Sir Foster, Ingels, and Gensler but in fact, it only happens on my dream!
Keep working on your Archi-Tech skillset and in sure youll get there!
great insight
