This seminar will help the small firm identify and build those business skills necessary for a successful design practice.

The program also will identify strategies to improve both architects' and clients' understanding of contracts to improve performance and compliance and reasonably protect both parties.

Panelists will provide insight into both therapeutic requirements and funding opportunities, as well as design inspiration. Group discussion will challenge the nature of home design and will expand architects' abilities to positively impact a wide range of social, political, and cultural trends.
