Studio Chats: How Life, Collaboration & Design Shape Architecture

Join us for Studio Chats, where Benjamin Arcia, MUD, Senior Associate at McCullough and Brandon Blakeman, Founding Principal at Workshop B Architects and a valued McCullough client, have a candid conversation about design, collaboration, and how life experiences—like working in a meat department—can shape a career in architecture.

In these clips from their chat, they dive into their shared projects, including the award-winning La Semilla, and talk about how teamwork and fresh perspectives lead to incredible design. They emphasize the importance of looking to history to guide us forward, incorporating the ideas of fine-grain, diversity of expression, and intimacy of the streets to create meaningful, human-centered spaces.

Tune in for some great stories, inspiring insights, and a behind-the-scenes peek at McCullough!
