Now that I’ve been at this “architect” thing for a little while, I can look back at my sketches, all the way back to my time in school, and see how my sketch technique has evolved and how that technique has shaped my architectural solutions. Tej Kanitkar Hi, Mr. Borson, first off, longtime reader and fan of your blog.

Fast forward a few years – the college process is now complete and architectural schools are churning out extremely creative graduates, ready to take on the design world … except few graduates will actually get to work on “BIG IDEA” design projects. Which would explain why I’m at this blog.

Being unique got me noticed in the very noisy world of architecture internship. Today, graduates of architecture school have it even rougher than us “kids” of the 90s. Technology is allowing small firms to work remotely with flexible “virtual” teams. Be Respectful. Be a Resource. Be Confident.

When in architecture school, we each had a professor who told us that architecture should be practiced for the art and the art alone. “If you want to make money”, he said, “quit now, take a walk across campus and enroll at the business school.” I call us the Entrepreneur Architects.

Love the blog, Jordan Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 4:03 PM Hi Bruce, I can’t speak to the specifics as to whether or not welding is a good segue into architecture but I would think it has helped you with some three-dimensional thinking skills – and those are the hardest to develop in my opinion. Hopefully this helps in some way.

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. Deciding to write this blog has in many ways become a watershed moment for me in my career.

Modern technology does the heavy lifting, so it’s easy to get things right. And I said, well, you know, when I went to sleep at night, really my whole life, I’ve thought about how a chair gets made or a roof gets put on, you know, when I was 16 I was thinking this way, said, okay, so I’ll go to architecture school.

If you are an architectural student – or a young architecture school graduate – Architectural Portfolios are extremely important. Resumes are important, they can help you get an interview, but few people coming out of architecture school will ever get hired based on their zippy resume.

For the purposes of today’s article, I am going to assume that all architectural drawings are correct and serve their purpose of conveying intent, scope and quantity. When I graduated from architecture school in 199[mumble-mumble], computers were not that prevalent. Your blog is the now part of my daily digest.

Large project skills are nice to have and our staff are technologically advanced with knowledge on systems and materials that small projects do not afford. Everyone has to seek their own satisfiers and that is the great thing about architecture. From a technology standpoint, we are an industry leader in Revit.

Modern technology does the heavy lifting, so it’s easy to get things ready. When I was in architecture school, Neil Denari was my inspiration. You don’t have time to be an expert in things like taxes and regulations and old school payroll providers just aren’t built for the way that we work today.
