At the intersection of architecture is art, creativity, design, engineering, sociology, psychology, and inspiration, not to mention survival, sustainability, and comfort. It’s been said that architecture is the art we live in. We’re all impacted by the communities in which we live, the spaces in which we work, along with the places we visit and experience throughout our lives.

So what is it that makes for good architectural design? How does a space become iconic? How does an architect go from project, to design, to engineering, to completion?

Well, Lance Cayko knows a lot about the answers to those questions, and more.

Lance is a serial entrepreneur and co-founder of the architecture firm, F9 Productions, with Alex Gore. His career in architecture, engineering, and construction spans over two decades and includes numerous design awards including the international Architizer A+ Award for Architecture + Living Small. They operate out of the office site they designed, developed and built in Longmont, Colorado.
