#33 Practice Forward Podcast (Pamela Smith)

<p>V Owen Bush welcomed Pamela Smith, CEO of Twine Architectural Studio, to the Practice Forward podcast to discuss technology, tools, and ideas reshaping architecture, where Pamela Smith shared her background, the evolution of Twine Architectural Studio&#39;s specialization in code-driven healthcare architecture, and specific case studies like the Greenwich Village Hospital and a Mother Baby Unit reorganization. The discussion also covered project management pragmatism, the importance of creating serenity in healthcare spaces, and the future role of AI in converting raw data into BIM models and facilitating intelligent, &quot;self-driving&quot; building systems, which V Owen Bush and Pamela Smith explored in the context of hospital campuses. Pamela Smith concluded by stressing the importance of mentorship, the collaborative teamwork required for hospital projects, and Twine Architectural Studio&#39;s focus on recruitment strategies for finding staff interested in healthcare.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is brought to you by Scan2Plan — the measure of excellence for architects and engineers.From adaptive reuse to MEPF modeling, Scan2Plan delivers high-fidelity BIM and CAD documentation grounded in LiDAR precision and project-ready accuracy.

#32 Practice Forward Podcast (Jeannie Bertolaccini)

<p>V Owen Bush welcomed Jeannie Bertolaccini to the practice forward podcast, where she discussed Ordiz‑Melby Architects&#39; focus on high document quality, DSA navigation, and community engagement in the steady Central Valley market, noting their firm&#39;s use of ArchiCAD and the challenge of hiring staff familiar with it. Jeannie Bertilanchini detailed internal training through OMA University, quality assurance methods including external QA/QC reviews, and the importance of accurate existing conditions documentation, which she stressed is crucial to avoid cost blowouts and change orders on renovation projects like the Bell Tower Plaza. The discussion also covered the firm&#39;s Sustainable Architecture Strategies (SAS) committee, involvement in Women in STEM outreach, and the necessity of integrity, clear communication, and mentorship for professional growth.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is brought to you by Scan2Plan — the measure of excellence for architects and engineers.From adaptive reuse to MEPF modeling, Scan2Plan delivers high-fidelity BIM and CAD documentation grounded in LiDAR precision and project-ready accuracy.
