Why should all buildings designed for people, be designed by an architect, and how can architects be more influential? Architects, like all building professionals, need to run a good business to be effective. Mark R. LePage is an Entrepreneur Architect. He's passionate about the business of architecture, so much so that he writes, podcasts and coaches other architects how to run successful businesses.  I spokes with Mark about his journey, what makes his architectural practice, Fivecat Studio different, and the influence that architecture can have on people.  How much time do you spend finding out what your clients need or want?
