The second goal I had for myself was that I wanted to have a project that I had designed make it into an architectural history book – that’s a lofty goal. Nowhere in my future did I ever foresee spending my weekend reading financial books and pouring through tax returns and bank statements.

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. That first summer was not encouraging. It worked.

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.

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.

So I thought I would put together an architectural job “starter kit” of all the things you should be paying attention to if you’re planning on getting a job at an architectural office. My experience demands that I champion the advantages of working in a small firm, it’s what I know and love.

Art Vandelay “Most firms will cover some or all costs associated with exams and initial license” None of the half dozen firms in which I have worked with during the last 7 years have. I believe the firm paying for your licensing is a pre-2008 standard and is now considered overhead as opposed to an investment.

When I first started architecture school as a freshman in college, I didn’t have the focus or maturity I needed to tackle the curriculum and I ended up having a serious identity crisis when I was 19 years old. This could be almost anything within the field of architecture – it doesn’t necessarily stick to one thing.

The project I now remembered had made a lasting impression on me since it was my first assignment when my then prolific boss, Heinz Egenhofer hired me for my first job out of architecture school. For one thing, the school was barely changed since 1980, and as I can see online , it is still the pride of students and teachers alike.
