William J. Martin, AIA, Featured In Architect Magazine On Remote Work Changing the Profession

Licensed architect and writer Farah Ahmad, interviewed AIA NJ Public Awareness Chair William J. .Martin, AIA, along with colleagues from across the country to gain perspective on changes to the Architectural Profession as a result of the prevalence of remote work that occurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
