When Adam Snow Frampton, AIA, and Karolina Czeczek decided on Only If as the name for their Brooklyn, N.Y.–based firm, they did so because the phrase "is a condition rather than a definitive—it is optimistic and open-ended." Seven years later, the duo is forced to embrace this optimism as they navigate the challenges of operating a small practice amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the virus's U.S. epicenter.
In this podcast episode, Frampton and Czeczek discuss the steps they have taken to stabilize the firm in a time of uncertainty, how their roles as educators have shifted, and the projects that are keeping them motivated.
Episode 50: Only If On Managing a Small Firm During a Pandemic, featuring Adam Snow Frampton and Karolina Czeczek, is also available on SoundCloud, iTunes, and GooglePlay.
