n this fascinating conversation between Jonathan and Ethan, the critical role of full service in architectural practice is examined with depth and insight. They explore the synergies between design, documentation, and onsite engagement, emphasizing the need for architects to be involved in every step of a project. This ensures that the original design intent is preserved, and any arising challenges are met with creative and appropriate solutions.

Jonathan shares his early experiences of working with contractors and learning to create drawings that effectively communicate the builder's requirements. He stresses the importance of full service for young designers to quickly learn valuable practical skills. Meanwhile, Ethan reminisces about his time learning on site, making decisions to improve designs, and the growth he experienced as a result. Together, they make the case for full service beyond just the design phase, providing comprehensive care until the final completion of a project.
