Course Description
Architects navigate complex challenges every day—from aligning client expectations with design intent to coordinating teams and managing project constraints. In this engaging seminar, David Corsaro shares problem-solving approaches inspired by the world of illusion, offering architects practical tools to enhance creativity, adaptability, and collaboration. Drawing from his background in both corporate strategy and performance, David explores how magicians shift perception, adapt in real time, and communicate with purpose—skills that translate directly to architectural design and firm operations. This course encourages attendees to bring fresh energy to brainstorming sessions, uncover new ways to approach constraints, and foster a more creative, responsive office culture.
