AD Interviews: George H Miller

By — Filed under: ArchDaily Interviews ,Videos , ,
 

During the 2010 AIA Convention in Miami Beach we had the opportunity to sit down with , President.

George is also a partner at Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. Given his position as a partner on one of the most recognized firms in the US and as the voice of the architects through the AIA, George has a very good idea on the current state and future of the profession. We did our usual set of questions, but also included two things that I find very important: The importance on pushing IPD and the role of the AIA during the financial crisis (and what lessons can be learned after it). We also recommend you to read our article on his position regarding small business taxes, part of his efforts to improve the way architects practice in the US.

We published each question as a separate video so you can easily watch them. On a side note, there is some audio noise due to a bad mic placement. My fault, won´t happen again.

For you, what is architecture?

What role should architects play in contemporary society?

How important is innovation to your practice?

How important is networking to the profession?

How important is the Internet to the profession?

What advice can you give to someone wishing to pursue Architecture?

From your experience, what advice can you share about running, maintaining and expanding a practice over time?

The AIA actively advocated for more opportunities for architects during the financial crisis. What can we learn after this? Are, as a profession, ready to confront a new crisis?

What can you tells us on the role of the AIA pushing IPD (Integrated Project Delivery)?
