25.01.2022 The Australian federal government has announced an $189b economic stimulus package in response to Covid-19, which includes a number of support measures for small to medium businesses. State and territory governments have also announced stimulus packages. What follows is a summary of the main support initiatives that will flow the way of architecture practices over coming months.

25.01.2022 Published to #Panfilo: working pro-bono, an article examining the risks and opportunities of donating architectural services to survivors of the Australian Black Summer bushfires. https://panfilo.co/2020/09/01/working-pro-bono/

25.01.2022 A month and a lifetime have passed since my first article examining the various Covid-19 support packages on offer for architects. It feels like the world is a much calmer place now than the chaos, empty supermarkets and general panic of March. So it's time for an update on the support packages, and a summary of new initiatives that have emerged. [ 1,725 more word ] http://panfilo.co/2020/04/30/update-on-covid-19-support/

24.01.2022 In various lectures I've given over the years, I often slip in recommendations for a few of my favourite business books for architects. What sets these books apart is that none of them are actually about or by architects. That's not to say there aren't some great books that merge business and architecture, but I believe strongly in the need for us to learn about business from beyond our educational horizon.

23.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine and I caught up to see a film. We're both fans of the science fiction genre, so the much-hyped Ad Astra was an easy choice. We had heard murmurings that this might be the new Interstellar, which stirred giddy excitement, but sought to curb our enthusiasm by learning as little about the film as we could.

23.01.2022 As regular Panfilo readers will know, Mihaly Slocombe is the small architecture business I run with my wife. Erica and I also share the parenting of our two young children, who are in grade two and kinder this year. At the best of times this is a daily juggling act of epic proportions. Every day either she or I arrives late to work after school and kinder drop-off, and every day either I or she leaves early from work for school and kinder pick-up.

22.01.2022 I enjoy documenting. I enjoy the design thinking that goes into good detailing, the artfulness of laying out a page, the methodical assembly of a rigorous documentation set. As the years have passed, I have codified a list of ten rules for exceptional documentation. Some have been bestowed upon me by peers like perfect golden nuggets of wisdom, others have come to me in epiphanic dreams, and yet others I have had to learn the hard way with gritted teeth and much yelling.

21.01.2022 This article was written on behalf of ArchiTeam, Australia’s leading representative of small, medium and emerging architects, in my role as director. Between late September and early October last year, ArchiTeam conducted a substantial survey of our members. Though we've conducted member surveys in the past and gather membership data in the insurance forms you fill out each renewal period, this was the first time that we've ever looked so deeply into the work and lives of the people who make ArchiTeam the great organisation it is.

19.01.2022 In March this year, stories on Dezeen and the Architects' Journal revealed the existence of unpaid and gruelling internships at the office of Japanese architect Junya Ishigami.[1][2] A leaked email offer stipulated thirteen hour days and six day weeks, and required interns to bring their own computers and software. The article was inspired by the #arch4all campaign by London designer, Adam Nathaniel Furman, who a couple of weeks earlier had started posting emails from starchitects offering unpaid internships onto his Instagram [ 3,083 more words ] http://panfilo.co/2019/09/10/redefining-success/

13.01.2022 "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more" - William Shakespeare, Henry V Here we are again, accounting software and spreadsheets running hot as we all work out our eligibility for Jobkeeper 2.0. The federal government announced recently it will be extended until the end of March next year, though with stricter eligibility criteria and progressively diminishing payments. Read on for a summary of the Jobkeeper extension, as it applies to small business. [ 1,115 more word ] http://panfilo.co/2020/08/17/jobkeeper-2-0/

06.01.2022 A few weeks ago, ArchiTeam initiated a weekly series of virtual gatherings via Zoom. The aim of these is to provide a safe space in which to discuss the Covid-19 induced challenges we're all facing, and stay connected during the coming months of isolation. You can find out more information on the series, including details of upcoming sessions, here. [ 715 more words ] http://panfilo.co/2020/04/14/downtime-activities/

04.01.2022 The Australian federal government has announced a further $130b economic stimulus package in response to Covid-19, bringing the total federal stimulus to $319b (or around $24,700 per working Australian). To put this staggering sum into context, the total stimulus provided by the government during the Global Financial Crisis was just $52b or $4,800 per working Australian. Which goes to show you just how deeply in the poop we now find ourselves. [ 1,023 more word ] http://panfilo.co///more-business-support-during-covid-19/

01.01.2022 Earlier this year I shared a list of ten rules for exceptional documentation. The rules were codified following years of experience working with AutoCAD and one or two of its brethren, beginning in my university days and persisting across practices and decades. During that time, I perfected all the fiddly things that a well-rounded drawing set needs: artfully arranged drawing titles, attractive tree blocks and print-ready lineweights.
