@HenryCai2018 @radutnyarch @CrainsChicago They have various mock-up images on their website. By that, I think they design their own details and get them made. #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

@zhixuan_wei @IIT_ARC_413_568 I am curious to know if mostly interior projects is by choice. #iitpropractice

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

@JonMBeskin @HenryCai2018 Something like open/closed kitchen has sort of become an international influence and everyone, irrespective of location, leans towards "open". So, it maybe upto the architect to make sure to perceive it (and provide good design) even if not expressed. #iitpropractice

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

You work a lot with mock-ups for design details. I believe that it helps a lot in decision making. Does the process of mock-up reduce over the years after various projects? By experience, does it make the decision making easier? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

The conceptual models, images, diagrams -part of every project on your website shows your design intent clearly. Are they made after the project specifically for the website or they get done while in the process of design? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

I have always wondered if Architects can be good product designers. Since you have dealt with that aspect, Can you talk about why and how you look at it? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

@arch_shadimal @IIT_ARC_413_568 The type of community based designs they do, they are usually low cost, simple design and easy to implement which have powerful impacts. So, yes I think its integrated in their designs quite often. #iitpropractice

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

What were the guiding incidents/thoughts/projects that led to the kind of architectural practice you started? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

@chenchenwu_arch @IIT_ARC_413_568 Looking at their designs, and especially the inside out art installation, I feel like they want and anticipate different reactions and interactions from people. This aspect makes their design more reachable to people as well. #iitpropractice

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

What is the process that goes before a community based project gets realized? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

@EgoestoiiT @IIT_ARC_413_568 Thinking about the same thing. Bridgeport seems to be close to all of us now! :)

Many of the projects published on your website has consultants listed as well and some don't. At what stage do you bring in the consultants and for what projects? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

@LightningTwig @IIT_ARC_413_568 I am thinking about the same thing. What does getting an award really mean? And especially for a smaller firm. #iitpropractice

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

Does getting Awards and recognition from it mean anything more than that? Has it ever resulted in being approached more for projects or for submission for projects for other competitions? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

As Architects, we want people to know about our work and as a result get projects in return. Do you believe in an effort towards publicizing your work or does your work has to speak for itself and projects will come to you by word of mouth? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

Being a small firm and having a small presence on the internet as well, how do you manage to get continuous flow of projects to sustain yourself? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

Lately I have witnessed a lot of debate over building on the Mies campus and how an architect should be respectful of it. I wonder what Jahn's perspective on this was since his project is just opposite Crown hall. #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

Over the years, the firm and the architect have been given various names and identities. How does that affect the firm in terms of getting further projects and sustaining yourself. Do you try to break away from the identities given or ignore it? #iitpropractice @IIT_ARC_413_568

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

@afogel94 @IIT_ARC_413_568 I would think any office would maintain the entire process documented, for themselves. Also, who is to say which project will become famous and people want to see the process sketches and diagrams! #iitpropractice

[Pramitha Bale @pbd_06]

@Yc54506642 @JAHNArch @IIT_ARC_413_568 Apparently he dropped out of IIT! #iitpropractice
