Tell us about the dream project from your napkin sketch*. You may include specifics about features it would include, materials you’d use, where you’d like it to be erected, etc.

Who is your dream client, living or dead?

Besides your own, what notable Dallas residence is your dream home?

Who or what made you dream of becoming an architect?

In what ways is Dallas a dream city to be an architect in? In what ways is it difficult?

Recognizing that every client will have needs, opinions, feedback, and preferences that differ from your own, how do you compromise your artistic vision with their reality? How can a client convey those differing opinions without becoming a nightmare client?

How do you feel about trends in architecture? Which would you love to see go by the wayside?

What classic architectural designs inspire you?

*Instructions for napkin sketch: Create a napkin sketch of your dream project—the home you’d design if you had no aesthetic, functional, or budget constraints. And yes, we’d really like it on a napkin. It can be any size or style, logo’ed or not, but preferably white in color. You’re welcome to briefly annotate the sketch; then you’ll have a chance to expand upon your vision in the questionnaire linked below. And be sure to sign it! We plan to photograph the napkins, so please notify executive editor Jessica Otte ([email protected]) when your sketch is complete and where we can pick it up, and we’ll send someone to collect it.

One brand, four magazines.
