There were hundreds of architecture students graduating that spring and they were all competing for the same few positions available in the region. Every summer since my senior year in high school I worked on construction sites, learning the trade up close and studying the psychology of the architect/contractor relationship.

This past December I was invited to speak at AIAS Forum 2013; the American Institute of Architecture Students national convention. While we waited for the airports to open, I had the opportunity to speak in length with many of the architecture students in attendance. I did not know any architects.

Andrew Hawkins – past President of AIA Brazos Chapter, and the owner of Hawkins Architecture – a very successful firm based in College Station, Texas.

You need to know and I strongly recommend that you pick up a copy of ‘ Architectural Graphics ‘ by Francis D.K. Ching’s book (along with my studio professors) taught me how to show profile lines – their use defines the look of my sketches as well as a generation of other architects.

We had to produce a lot of artists who basically buy gifts for all of the kids in the school and the art instructor basically said, “do what you want to do, do what you’re good at, figure out something” And so I realized very quickly that I could draw buildings from the books pretty well. I did exactly that.

The education of an architect intentionally and systematically breaks down the creative process “baggage” and untrained habits of their students, and then starts the process of rebuilding that process in a non-stigmatized environment. Like with school teaching us something new, we have to be ready to let design teach us as well.
