Architecture shapes where people learn, work, gather and pray. A gathering space can help people find connection and support. An everyday service can make a neighborhood easier to live in. The question isn't only what a building should look like. It's what the place could help someone do.

On the Arcfluence Podcast, Joshua Zinder, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, founder and managing partner of Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design (JZA+D), joins Arcfluence co-founders Nick Karakaian, Assoc. AIA, and Paul Fatkins, AIA, NCARB, to talk about what architecture makes possible for people, and what it takes to keep doing that work.

They discuss community projects, the relationships behind them, and the practical work of sustaining a small architecture firm, including peer support through the AIA Small Firm Exchange.
