The 5th Façade Project | Design Principal, Alan Maskin | Staff, Jerome Tryon
This week Ken and I are joined by Alan Maskin, partner and co-owner of Seattle-based Olson Kundig. Alan shares his story growing up on the East Coast, working as an artist and arts educator before moving onto architecture school in his 30s. He tells us about how he finally landed a job at Olson Kundig after 4 failed job applications, and then strategically moved his way out of his initial role of IT manager. He provides insight into what it took to move up in the firm, eventually becoming a partner and co-owner, and what kind of qualities Olson Kundig looks for when hiring new talent that fits well with time-crafted firm culture.

Excellent episode. Here is where we discussed the composting project Alan Maskin mentioned, by Katrina Spade: https://archinect.com/news/article/122440514/architect-proposes-turning-dead-humans-into-compost
Donna, I think we discussed that project on the podcast before, in this episode - https://archinect.com/news/article/122606084/archinect-sessions-episode-20-three-funerals-and-a-curator
I kept thinking I thought we did a story about that, and it was cool!
