Simulate the fun and challenge of being a firm owner in this collaborative workshop.
Team up with firm leadership and early professionals alike to navigate real-world scenarios, make strategic decisions, and define the future of architectural practice. Much like The Game of Life®, you and your team will face challenges from the dramatic—the death of an owner or a severe weather event—to expected problems, like filling a vacant role.
This hands-on workshop will provide a rare opportunity to design and test a hypothetical firm in an encouraging, low-risk environment.
