Architecture isn&rsquo;t any different. With talks of <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150168375/revisiting-the-4-day-work-week-in-architecture" target="_blank">4 day work weeks</a>, addressing <a href="https://archinect.com/features/article/150144136/burnout-and-the-architecture-work-culture" target="_blank">burnout</a>, and providing <a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/1224366/just-design" target="_blank">healthy flexibility for modern professionals</a> to navigate their personal lives, alternative ways of working are pushing to the forefront of workplace discussions. What about working remotely? It may seem to be an impossibility in this fast-paced and demanding profession, but Boston-based <a href="https://archinect.com/saamarchitecture" target="_blank">Saam Architecture</a> has been running strong for years on a remote work model, operating under an ideology they&rsquo;ve called <em>radical flexibility.</em> Archinect had the pleasure to connect with Principal and Co-founder of Saam, Diana Nicklaus to discuss her team&rsquo;s unique operational structure, the challenges that come with it, and how radical flexibility can augment the way design professionals work together.</p>
