Re Taylor Swift speaking at that Architect’s Conference — I checked out her song titles and came to realize how relevant she could be:
Shake It Off - regarding earthquake structural design.
Don’t Blame Me - on Architect’s liability insurance
Blank Space - for the minimalist in all Architects.
I Knew You Were Trouble - on how to screen potentially difficult clients
Wildest Dreams - for Frank Gehry enthusiasts
Daylight - Sponsored by Roof Window Mfgs.
Is It Over Now - For GCs with liquidated damages contracts
Look What You Made Me Do - for those of us frustrated with our Clients' design acumen, or lack thereof.
Style - ’nuff said…
I mean - she’s a sure HIT !!!
Oh yes, and we checked out the publication date of the article… 4/1/2024. (Snookered…)

This is an excellent list! I've heard Taylor isn't a very good dancer, and neither are architects, so there's also that!

Honestly, Taylor would be a decent keynote.

I'm not a fan of her music but I am impressed with her business acumen, work ethic and ability to remain humble and approachable despite being a billionaire. She definitely has things to teach architects (and designers)!

Precisely - and markets way better than any architect does (except maybe Bjarke)

Is Bjarke the Swift of the architectural world?
does that make FLW the Sinatra of the arch world?
He's more the Nickleback of the arch world.
Since when is AIA about football?
