Educational Video about a Career in Architecture Starring JKR Architects!

Izzo Here: A few months ago, Tiffany (formerly of JKR, but still a close ally to the office) and I embarked on some uncharted territory.  We were approached by an awesome organization called GreenTreks to star in short film about careers in STEM or science, technology, engineering and Mathematics. This was the result.  Hopefully this will inspire you or someone you know to become an architect! Grab some popcorn!

Green Treks teams up with JKR for informational video

Tiff, Izzo, and Ferro

This past Monday, Green Treks, the award-winning Philadelphia-based nonprofit communications company teamed up with JKR Partners to film their upcoming educational series about STEM careers.  If you aren't familiar with STEM, it's an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.  The short film is geared toward high school students that might be interested in a job in these fields but may be too scared to ask the questions they really want to know.  Tiffany and I were interviewed by a local high school student, and we quelled her fears about how much Math architects really use. Contrary to what most people think, we really don't use much complex Math.  After filming in the office,we headed to one of our construction sites around the corner where site superintendent Dave Ferro from Clemens gave us some hands on experience.

JKR Partners was the scene of the most recent Philly turned New York movie set. Harrison Ford, and some guy named Liam Hemsworth who is apparently engaged to Miley Cyrus and then some other guy from Lost Josh Holloway who looks like a a poor mans Fabio. Oh and still one more guy Gary Oldman... all filming Paranoia.  So instead of NYC they decided Philly was the cool man's NYC.  I think we got our fill of Harrison Ford going into and out of the car forty times in 4 different scenes.  I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that last picture is probably the spoiler. It was Rosebud.  It was his sled.
