After responding to a hopeful architect on Dwell.com I decided to flesh out my answer and include more books. Naturally there is some overlap and some of these books could fit in multiple headings, this is architecture after all.

With a twisted sense of pride, too many architects today accept the small firm stereotype of “starving artist”. Seeds planted in architecture school bloom into a full-on virus as professionals launch their own firms and find their way to small business. Architecture is a profession like law and medicine.

MMB Architects Office – after hours and on the weekend … empty Work / Life is a topic that is frequently discussed whenever a group of architects get together. While I believe that to be true, I am not an architecture student and therefore believe that I can say the one thing and behave in a completely opposite manner.

I graduated from Roger Williams University School of Architecture in 1993. The nation was slowly recovering from a recession and architects were not eagerly seeking help from intern architects. I did not know any architects. My career as an architect was just going to have to wait. I had plans for my life.

Recently things are changing for architecture students in the United States. Though, today, many schools do not enforce these rules, the AIAS and current generations of architecture students are taking on the responsibility to educate their peers and are advocating against the unhealthy and unsafe practice of the legendary all-nighter.

Others wanted to know about how to start their own firms. Architecture is a business.
