This is because we are on the edge of a complete flip in how every service industry functions, including medicine, law, and architecture. Every potential client who architects serve under 40 has created a software derived sketch. Take those tools and multiply their capacities by 1,000 in the coming decades, and architecture changes.

Five years of a learning experience The mind of an architecture student is indeed a cauldron filled with fretting emotions, art, thought-provoking ideas, stories, and myriad experiences. Five years spent in an architecture school are nothing less than a roller-coaster that persuades you to find hidden values and varying purposes.

I tell clients that we could design a successful project with nothing more than a scope of work and site plan. This is true, but it is only after listening to our clients hopes, needs and dreams that we can take each project to its pinnacle. The quickest way to an unhappy client is to design a project beyond their budget.
