Architects in Cafes Getting Coffee is a live event bringing together like minded people for an informal panelist discussion on a topic and is put on by the AIA Buffalo/WNY chapter. This year’s topic is Design Professionals turned Developers.

Panelists

Rick Hauser; AID LEED AP, Partner at InSite Architecture in Perry, NY, also Mayor of Perry

Rick married a 4th generation dairy farmer, moved to rural Perry, NY, and has spent the last 27 years figuring out what it means to be a Frontier Architect. Along the way he taught architecture at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and founded In. Site: Architecture, a 10-person firm now in its 23rd year. Perry’s been his firm’s living laboratory for downtown revitalization. He takes those lessons to villages and small cities across New York State. Somehow he was elected mayor in 2013 and has yet to be voted out.

Michael Anderson; AIA LEED AP, works for Abstract Architecture in Buffalo, NY

Abstract Architecture PC was formed on the belief that any design project is a partnership between the client and the Architect. With expert design services for nearly any project type, including educational, healthcare, hospitably and commercial, Abstract Architecture PC’s primary design type is residential, both single and multi-family. As part of our development as a company we are working towards a Design-Build development business model, our first project being our own building at 313 Broadway, a mixed-use development we call home.
