D&E PHILOSOPHY: From the first mark on paper to the last brick in place, we want you to be part of the process; enjoying every milestone along the way. Let us sweat the details and work through the problems. We like getting our hands dirty in the nitty-gritty of it all. We thrive on it, actually.

No job is too small or too simple. Whether we’re planning a 100,000 square-foot retail complex, restoring a historic building, or designing a small home addition, we take pride in adding life and personality to any space. The beauty, the form, and the function are in the details, and that’s what we do.

This week we kick off our series with AIA ETN past president Robyn McAdoo (Dollar & Ewers Architecture) discussing what leadership looks like to her:

"One of the most challenging aspects of being an Architect is the constant quest to find the perfect balance between seemingly opposing concepts. Passion and profit, progress and reflection, creativity and correctness, flexibility and stability, optimism and caution, trusting and questioning, perfection and reality, insulation and ventilation!

Leadership with AIA helps professionals gain perspective on these and other quandaries. Conversations turn from complaining to solution-seeking. When Architects with similar goals but different experiences and skills come together in a leadership setting, we share ideas, we learn from each other, and we raise the bar for the profession. When we make each other better, we show our community that Architects are thought-leaders who are valuable assets to the community, and that our services have value. We discourage the trends of fee-cutting, scope reduction, and hiring-an-Architect-only-because-it’s-a-requirement-to-get-a-permit.

As AIA leaders, we meet with government representatives to advocate for the profession. We learn at AIA meetings what government bills affect what we do, and we simply go ask for the votes. As a leader, this has taught me that one person can make a difference, especially when there are LOTS of “one persons” reinforcing a unified message.

A novel concept: get out there! AIA holds events that embrace our communities in order to raise awareness about what we do. Rather than wallowing in the “nobody understands us” rut, we go out and not just tell people, but show them. We give tours. We hold contests. We interact with students. We show up and ask what’s important to people. That ability to use the combination of showing and listening is a great foundational skill in life.

Thanks, AIA, for providing me with leadership opportunities that have educated me, humbled me, boosted my confidence, forced me to get better at public speaking, and given me valuable connections and long-lasting friendships."

Thanks Robyn for all your service to AIA ETN and for showing us what !

As UT prepares to welcome students back to campus, their construction crews are working hard to provide class space that is appropriate for social distancing. Here, at the Brehm Animal Science Building at the Ag Campus, we designed a system of new concrete ramps to make an accessible entry at an area that was formerly filled with dirt. They can now use this large space to hold classes with students a safe distance apart.
