Episode 39 - David Supple Discusses His Upcoming Book

Architect David Supple, founder and CEO of New England Design & Construction, is working on a book about how architects are trained, and we had him on to say more about this. “The issue with the traditional ‘design-bid-build’ model is that architects aren’t trained on how to build or what things cost,” David explains in his conversation with Kevin and Corey. Historically, “architects came from the trades…The word [‘architect’] comes from the trades. You were an apprentice; you were a journeyman; you were a master; and now you can turn around and design and direct the work. And the book that I’m designing now—its working title is ‘Rebuilding the Architect’—a lot of it is about removing false information. Because it has been made to appear that the architect and the builder were always separated. But that is erroneous.”
