The difference between someone doing well and someone doing great as an architect is not their design skills , it’s their ability to make a personal connection with the people who hire them (clients), work through problems by extrapolating similar conditions, codifying that process, and then understanding why some solutions work and others don’t.

Architectural schools are often staffed with educators who are ill at ease actually practicing in the “real world”. They find refuge in academia with its impressionable young students eager to learn what they have to say (since their prospective clients were not interested).

You will get to do just about everything sooner rather than later – attend client meetings, contribute to the design, prepare construction drawings, organize and process bidding and negotiating information, and go to job sites. And no, school teaches you zero about being an architect. it teaches you to solve problems. Ann Agreed.

I personally feel that having fewer licensed architects is bad for the profession because good designers will go unlicensed and clients will start to recognize (correctly) that they can hire unlicensed designers who are equally qualified to do the work. Great post Bob! We should consider rolling in the AREs to coursework. to $1,500.00!
