John E Sather AIA, AICP

Managing Partner

John Sather is an Architect and Land Planner based in Scottdale, Arizona, and is the Managing Partner of Swaback Architects + Planners. He and his business partner, Vern Swaback, started the firm almost 45 years ago, after both left the Frank Lloyd Wright (FLLW) Foundation based at Taliesin and Taliesin West. Vern Swaback was a direct apprentice to FLLW and John was a student at the School of Architecture that continued on after Wright’s death. He currently serves as a Board of Trustee member of the School of Architecture founded by FLLW. 

John’s work spans the US, Mexico, and Hawaii. His architectural involvements are centered on special case assignments where the project goal is to create precedent-setting design, such as Univision Television Headquarters, one of the largest rammed earth structures built in modern time. Additionally, he has designed numerous resorts and residences, and recently perhaps the most important environmental education and research center focused on desert and arid lands, which will be located in the Sonoran Desert. 

His land planning/community design work in Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, and Sedona includes some of the most environmentally sensitive communities in the US. He has received awards for virtually all of his work, and has had numerous articles published about both his planning and architectural work. He has traveled to virtually all parts of the world in his ongoing study of architecture and community design.

Interview with Lisa Raynes, architect and creator and owner of the Pride Road Architecture Franchise.

 Lisa is an architect that specialises in the domestic sector which, she discovered, is perfect for getting her "work-life balance just right."[1] After being made redundant twice due to maternity leave, she decided, in 2010, to set up Raynes Architecture, [2], out of necessity, as there were no architecture employment opportunities at the time. However, the gender inequality within architecture continued to frustrate her, so recently she created the franchise Pride Road in June 2016, which has been a Chartered Practice for only six months (as of January 2018), [3] yet is a "game changer for women in architecture,"[4] as it allows her to give her flexible business model to other architects, so they too could enjoy their families, as well as their work. Raynes argues that "On entering the architecture school, there is 50/50 split across genders but once you get into practice, the numbers fall to 20-30% of all architects being women," [5] so despite women being equally interested in architecture, they "fall prey to economic cycles far more than men and once [they] decide to have a family."

Pamela Magnus didn’t plan on having her own firm, but priorities change when you have children. With her husband, Hector, they created Architects Magnus to watch their children grow and make their own hours. Both being architects, they designed their home to function for their lifestyle of both family and business. Twenty years and two sons later, they are still passionate about designing for the lifestyle of each client.

On the side, Pamela currently enjoys volunteering with her son on everything from Bingo with Seniors to making burritos for the homeless. Her women’s land use group keeps her involved in civic responsibility. Her support system includes the online architect community, her long-standing book club, family time, and morning walks with her husband. Gratitude is on top of her list every day.
