Social Networking and Your Design Practice at the AIA
by Rebecca Firestone with Mark English AIA | Work/News
Mark English joins fellow designers Joel Robare of JR Studio and Mike Plotnick of HOK in a roundtable discussion on the impact of social networking on their own design practices. New tools like Facebook and Twitter, combined with identity Web sites and traditional print media, collectively offer a rich toolbox from which each firm can choose its own approach.
On Friday, December 4, from 1:00-2:30 pm, the AIA San Francisco Office is hosting a seminar titled “The 2.0 Practice”. Mark English will be co-presenting at an elite roundtable discussion on the impact of social networking on design practice, including strategies that other firms can use to incorporate social media into their overall business plans.
Featured speakers include:
- Architect Mark English, principal of Mark English Architects and creator of two blogs: The Architect’s Take and Green Compliance Plus
- Interior designer Joel Robare, principal of JR Studio, a boutique firm with offices in San Francisco and Chicago
- Mike Plotnick, corporate communications manager for HOK
Traditional media, shown at top, do not offer the scalability and interactivity of social media.
This post will be published live during the seminar, and we will be inviting people to comment afterwards on what they got out of it.

As the coauthor of a book called “Sales 2.0” and a client of both Mark and Joel, I was delighted to learn how these forward-thinking practitioners are using innovative online sales and marketing approaches to prospects and clients.
