Next month, I will give a presentation on the Lake Flato San Antonio Office Transformation via an Architectural Record webinar sponsored by Autodesk!
I will be presenting alongside Jack Rusk (co-founder, C.Scale).
In January 2023, Lake Flato completed a comprehensive renovation of its 1920-era San Antonio office building to accommodate growth, respond to new technological developments in hybrid work, and more aspirationally reflect the firm’s community-oriented, place-based culture. In this webinar I will highlight a few design strategies, material selection optimization efforts, as well as technology used throughout the process.

Course Description
In today’s rapidly evolving architectural landscape, integrating modern technology is revolutionizing how we design and construct buildings. From carbon calculation to comfort, architects have resources at their fingertips to streamline the design process and meet or beat client expectations. This webinar explores the intersection of sustainability, technology, and business outcomes in modern construction and design.
Participants will learn to leverage advanced tools and material innovations to optimize energy use, reduce waste, and improve overall building performance. The webinar emphasizes Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) and highlights sustainable solutions that contribute to occupant well-being, code compliance, and long-term economic benefits. Through real-world applications, attendees will gain insights into designing resilient, high-performing spaces that meet evolving industry demands.
