archi-speak 003: future-casting

September 17, 2019 by Roberta Pennington in architecture, design

Oftentimes designers are asked to predict the future so a client can spend their money wisely. Unfortunately, we are not precognitive. Instead we use magic words like “FUTURE-CASTING” to sound more like Philip K Dick than an actual dick.

Special thanks to our guest, Aly Pierce, for setting the record straight.

sometimes when an outsider hears the words used by a design professional, their meaning gets muddied. is she really going to “massage” the plan? does he really get turned on by a glossy, white, metal detail by calling it “sexy?” why exactly are a&d professionals hijacking the tech darling “ux?” in our companion micro-cast, we explore some of the vocab words with past guests of the show to try to decipher: archi-speak.

thanks to matt carter for chatting about: DISRUPTION
