453: Radical Practice with Marlon & Meryati Blackwell

​​Today I will be speaking with Principals Marlon and Meryati Blackwell of Marlon Blackwell Architects.  Despite operating in a region where architecture can be overlooked, the Blackwells’ firm has amassed an important and most impressive body of work across a wide range of project types. The firm is ready to tackle any project that serves common good, regardless of scale and budget while applying the highest standard of design.

The office of Marlon Blackwell Architects received the 2016 Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in Architecture and ranked #1 in Design as part of the Architect 50, a national survey of architecture firms. In 2011, Marlon Blackwell Architects was recognized as the Firm of the Year by Residential Architect Magazine. The firm has earned an international design reputation through recognition of its work in many publications, including architectural design journals and books, and receiving more than 120 design awards including state, regional, national and international awards.

In today’s episode we will be discussing:

• The Practice’s recent book Radical Practice https://www.marlonblackwell.com/radical-practice/
• Why Arkansas proved to be such a successful place for an architecture practice
• Working as a husband and wife team
