In this episode of the In The House Podcast, a construction podcast hosted by Lonnie and Michael, they sit down with John Hudson, founder of 100 Fold Studio, to talk about the myth of the…
[upbeat music] John, I wanna, I wanna open the floor to you and, you know, the big question that I wanna know, um, really is, um, why, why was 100 Fold Studio started? Like, how did, how did it come about?
Yeah, there's, um, uh, some technical reasons, like as an architect, that I can geek out on a little bit later.
But, um, I think a lot of it is, like, just wanting to be part of a story and, um, and so, uh, one kind of underla- understanding a larger story you can be a part of.
Um, I've enjoyed art since I was little and so I've gotten training as an architect and, um, a way of seeing the world artistically and technically and, and want to bring that to be meaningful, uh, in the world.
And that's kind of wherever you are, like, uh, from high-end custom residential to we work in areas of the world that are developing and, uh, bringing architectural structures to communities where they might be unsafe.
Um, so to, to be a part of that story, uh, as an architect, uh, one, it helps to be licensed 'cause that brings trust and accreditation.
And so wanting to go serve in areas o- of the world, um, uh, like in areas of the Himalayas, um, Southeast Asia, uh, Middle East, um, you, you wanna be licensed.
And so, uh, coming out of school, there was no way to get licensed while serving i- in these areas of the world.
Mm.
Uh, so an architect needs to have, like, a residency, uh, like a doctor, and so that can be at different times.
Geez
Um, you need to get those experience levels while being compensated, working under a licensed architect, like an apprentice, and in a legitimate architecture office.
Wow.
Um, and so that desire to serve could not be, um, brought to life and fruition without kinda going back into the marketplace to get these skillsets and then bring it back out to, um, serving these communities that I mentioned before.
Yeah.
