PRACTICE INTO ADJACENT
MEDIA IS A REVOLUTIONARY
AND COMPLETELY NEW
CONCEPT, UNPRECEDENTED
IN THE HISTORY OF
ARCHITECTURE.

OK, SO IT ISN’T NEW. BUT
IT’S PROBABLY NOT FOR
EVERYONE.

THE GOOD:
DIVERSIFIED REVENUE
STREAMS (SOME AT HIGHER
MARGINS THAN ARCH)

THE GOOD:
DIVERSITY OF
CREATIVE CADENCES.

THE (ACTUAL) GOOD:
VISION TRANSCENDS
MEDIUM. GENUINE
COLLABORATIVE
ENGAGEMENT.

THE BAD:
YOU MIGHT
SCREW THIS UP.

THE BAD:
LIABILITIES YOU’VE NEVER
EVEN HEARD OF BEFORE.

THE BAD:
EXPONENTIALLY MORE
COMPLICATED RESOURCING
AND STAFFING ISSUES.

THE UGLY:
DILUTION OF SKILL BASE,
MESSAGE, MARKET
POSITIONING.

**
**
BRANDED
SPACE &
INTERIORS

**
**
SOMETHING FOR THE SKEPTICS TO
KEEP IN MIND: OTHER CREATIVE
INDUSTRIES ARE DIVERSIFYING TOO.

NOT MENTIONED, BUT
SO HOT RIGHT NOW:
PRODUCT
FURNITURE
GRAPHIC / EGD

DIVERSIFIED PRACTICE:
IT MIGHT NOT BE YOUR BAG.

IT CAN BE A BOONE FROM THE
PERSPECTIVE OF FINANCIALS,
STAFFING, CREATIVE. BUT IT CAN
ALSO KILL ALL OF THOSE.
SO BE CAREFUL.

IT’S ONE WAY (NOT THE ONLY WAY)
TO DELIVER MORE HOLISTIC DESIGN
SOLUTIONS TO CLIENTS, AND MORE
CONSIDERED EXPERIENCES TO
USERS, IN THESE FRAGMENTED AND
DISJOINTED TIMES.
