What if architects stopped working for developers and started becoming developers themselves? Joshua Zinder of JZA+D and Chris Farnum of Studio Hillier explore how adding development to an architecture practice can unlock new revenue streams, greater creative agency, and long-term wealth creation. They share practical advice on evaluating opportunities, understanding pro formas, building trusted partnerships, managing risk, and leveraging the skills architects already have to take a seat at the ownership table. Whether you're a sole practitioner or firm leader, this conversation offers a roadmap for expanding your impact beyond traditional practice.
