I said what’s an RFP, not give me the history of architecture 😩

All jokes aside, an RFP is a Request for Proposals. It shapes how a project begins. A good RFP isn’t just paperwork; it’s how we ensure fair, transparent procurement and choose architects based on quality, not the cheapest fee.

POV: You’re finishing drawings while the ghosts of deadlines lingers behind you 👻

Happy Halloween!

When your French comes out… but maybe it should’ve stayed in 😅
At least the message was right! You should care about public procurement reform!

Becoming an architect is a marathon.

In Canada:
5–7 years uni
5,600H internship
Licensing exams

Architects face layers while balancing design, budgets, community needs & regulations. It can drive you a little “crazy” 😅

Architects don’t just design buildings, they shape the communities we live in.

#Kiweki Point is a beautifully reimagined lookout, guided by the NCC's international #designcompetition, which selected the award-winning "Big River Landscape" proposal by Janet Rosenberg & Studio. That #competitive process brought forward bold innovation and deep respect for #Algonquin heritage.
