Joshua Prince-Ramus discusses the challenges and opportunities of working abroad. Fred Bernstein: Did you work with a local architect? What do you look for in a local architect? Joshua Prince-Ramus: Due to the incredibly compressed schedule, we collaborated with a general contractor, moving directly from design development to shop drawings.
