Executive Q&A with
 
Philip Laird
President ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge
A Conversation With Philip Laird
Boston SF recently caught up with ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge to talk about trends in design, green building, some of the firm's current projects and the future of architecture.

Boston SF: What are some of the more notable recent trends in architecture?

Philip Laird: What we've noticed is there is more collaboration than ever before between the design teams, the consultant team, the client user groups, and the construction team. Part of this is because of the technology that's available, but I also think that the design teams, clients and construction managers are more sophisticated now than they were 20 or 30 years ago. We also see that there's more of a focus on sustainability and long-term life-cycle costs of maintaining and operating new buildings, and that has an impact on any of the design decisions that are made during the early part of the schematic design and design development of the project.

Boston SF: One of your personal specialties is design of academic facilities. What is new in that area?

Philip Laird: There is more of a focus at schools and colleges on collaborative spaces and spaces that are flexible to accommodate team-based learning experiences. There's also more of an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Many high schools are combining math, science and technology into a STEM-based curriculum -- STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math -- and we're seeing that at a lot of schools. We're seeing a more interdisciplinary approach even in the humanities and arts as well.
