Building Resilience: Fire-Resistant Design for a Safer Future

In the ever-evolving realm of construction, the future isn't just on the horizon—it's actively shaping the way we design and build today. As we look toward 2025, the tides of change are making themselves felt through a mosaic of new technologies, sustainability imperatives, and innovative management practices. Whether you're a construction veteran, a budding architect, or a homeowner with a vision, understanding these trends can illuminate what's next for the industry. Let’s embark on a friendly, creative journey through the future of construction management.

The Future of Construction Management Trends to Watch in 2025

In this episode of Com d'Archi, meet Kevin Alter, an American architect and inspiring figure at the helm of Alterstudio, an agency based in Austin, Texas. Through a rich, sensitive, and generous conversation, he shares his dual vocation as a builder and teacher, revealing a vision of architecture as an everyday art, a dialogue with place, and a profoundly human act.

Steeped in modernism, his approach aims to create fair living environments that resonate with the landscape, the seasons, and the people who use them. At Alterstudio Architecture, each project is the result of passionate, meticulous, and context-driven teamwork, whether in Texas or faraway places like Niseko. This collaborative approach, combined with rigorous design and a keen eye for detail, shapes spaces that illuminate everyday life.

Kevin Alter also talks about his admiration for the elegance of French architecture, his love of books, craftsmanship, fashion, and his optimism. Far from formalism or pure technical performance, he advocates a generous architecture, guided by listening, respect for others, and the desire to collectively elevate our living environment.
Between aesthetic demands, educational commitment, and unapologetic humanism, this portrait of an architect in search of accuracy offers us a rare insight into the DNA of a studio deeply rooted in modernist ethics... and humanity.
