Episode 033: Building & Running a Successful Hybrid Practice

How can architects adapt their studios into a hybrid practice model?

In the blink of an eye, the way firms worked changed overnight. Now there’s no snapping back, and people’s expectations around how and where they work have changed. Many firms are just beginning to navigate and understand what they need to create a successful practice that allows their employees the flexibility they desire while remaining productive and profitable.

Evelyn Lee has been researching and writing about workplace trends throughout her career. As architects rapidly shifted from studio environments into all remote teams in 2020, she led the development of resources aimed at supporting firm leaders making the transition, including ‘Guide to Remote Work and Team Management During—and After—COVID-19.’

In this episode, she’ll share her latest research on hybrid practice, including the six key areas firm owners need to learn to manage in order to make hybrid practice work.

Evelyn M. Lee, FAIA, MBA, MPA is a licensed architect in the state of California, with over 15 years of experience working with individuals and companies that are looking to reshape their future. She is the founder of Practice of Architecture, the first-ever Senior Experience Designer at Slack Technologies, and the first female Treasurer to AIA National‘s Board of Directors.
