Who writes the guides
Abdullah Gerasimov
Founder and Principal Architect, Modern Acre Studio. Licensed Texas architect, Texas Board of Architectural Examiners #31455.
Commercial and civic buildings first, then two years running residential construction in the field, then five and a half years at institutional scale.
Stays with a project from the first walk of the land through permitting and construction.
That route is why these guides lean on permitting, drainage and construction sequencing rather than styling. The parts of a Houston project that go wrong are rarely the parts you can see in a photograph.
