211. State of Architecture with Andrew Goodwin
Episode 211
Wednesday, 24 June, 2026
In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius speaks with Andrew Goodwin, AIA, founder of AGD, about the evolving role of the architect in a profession being reshaped by technology, entrepreneurship, education, and social responsibility.Andrew shares how his career has moved between traditional practice, public interest design, teaching, publishing, nonprofit work, and firm leadership—and why he believes architects can no longer rely on outdated definitions of the profession. Instead of returning to the old idea of the “master builder,” Andrew makes the case for the architect as a master entrepreneur, advocate, communicator, educator, and citizen leader.The conversation explores how liability narrowed the role of architects, how design-build and integrated delivery may be shifting it again, and how AI is forcing schools and firms to rethink what future architects actually need to learn. Andrew also discusses building AGD around purpose, innovation, remote flexibility, community engagement, and a commitment to doing good first.It’s a conversation about architecture as a practice, but also as a platform—for storytelling, leadership, service, advocacy, and impact.In this episode:Why the architect’s role needs to expand beyond traditional servicesHow AI may reshape architectural education and early-career practiceWhat students should understand about entrepreneurship and businessHow storytelling and communication help clients understand designWhy purpose, innovation, and social impact are central to AGD’s workHow architects can define their own path instead of inheriting an outdated oneAs discussed:AGD Architecture + DesignDisrupted: The Architecture ProfessionMetamorphosis of the Future ArchitectIf you enjoy our content, you can check out similar content from our fellow creators at Gābl Media.Spaces Podcast Spaces Podcast websiteLYNES // Gābl MediaAll rights reservedMentioned in this episode:NCARB PodcastGabl CESTo Build is Human
