When he was a kid, Ned Cramer, editor in chief of\\xa0Architect, wanted to be the first architect-pope. After enrolling in architecture school and weighing his papal options, he decided to do neither, focusing instead on writing and publishing for the profession. He\'s now the brains behind media firm\\xa0Hanley Wood\'s Architect Group, serving as group editorial director for\\xa0Architect,\\xa0Architectural Lighting,\\xa0Residential\\xa0Architect, EcoStructure, EcoHome, EcoBuilding Pulse\\xa0and\\xa0MetalMag.

We spoke with Cramer about his career path and the state of architecture media, and the role of\\xa0Architect\\xa0as the AIA\'s official publication. Cramer and the whole Sessions\' crew will be at the AIA National Convention next week; keep an eye (and ear) out for us if you\'ll be there!
