EntreArchitect Podcast with Mark R. LePage

A People Platform Promoting Positive Change for the Profession Bob Habian, AIA is an entrepreneur and an architect, or perhaps more accurately described as a “puzzle builder and licensed problem solver”. His career path includes chapters of conventional and unconventional work, with extensive experience in traditional architectural practice, building product manufacturing, and technology development. You’ll typically find him deep in the middle of the work, getting his hands as dirty as needed, all in an effort to “clean up” the way architects and manufacturers do business together. Bob is the co-founder and CEO of Tect App, Inc., a company that is spearheading positive change in the building industry. And like many, he has just returned from the AIA Conference on Architecture in Chicago and is optimistic about the future of our profession.
