BEAT is a volunteer-run organization made up of architects, designers, leaders, and entrepreneurs creating opportunities for community-building, advocacy, networking, and mentorship.
BEAT Talks are a series of discussions held at the offices of Architects across the city. Hosts will share their learned experience.
BEAT Talks qualify for OAA Structured Learning hours
Join us as we hear from Amanda and Younes about finding the art in architecture as photographers. Their goal is to create images that go beyond straight representation and focus on storytelling. They will also elaborate on their experience working as a team in a profession that is typically done solo, and evolving both practice and philosophy over the years.

About Doublespace Photography
Doublespace photography = Amanda + Younes. We make bold and elegant architectural photography that tells the story of inspiring design. Our creative vision is the product of our combined experience and diametrically opposed backgrounds. A mutual love of capturing the built environment led us to launch doublespace photography in 2012, and we haven't looked back since! To us, this is more than a job or even a career; to put it simply, we eat, breathe, and sleep architectural photography. Our work has helped clients garner several national and international awards and is regularly featured in architecture and design magazines and books.
