Designing a practice that can hold a life.
I'm Evelyn Lee. Architect, 2025 President of the American Institute of Architects, and founder of Practice of Architecture. I help architecture firms get clear on the business and the culture first, and then put technology to work for both. I have done this from the project side, the owner's side, and inside Slack and Salesforce, and I run my own firm the way I describe.
The Adaptability Read is free and takes about six minutes. It shows you how adaptable your firm is, and it asks for your name, email and firm.
The Practice Lab
Where architects build the firm differently.
The Practice Lab is the community I run for architects and firm leaders who are changing how their firms work. It is where I share what I am working through in my own firm, and where members bring the questions they are working through in theirs.

The business of architecture deserves the same design rigor as the buildings.
