Being a successful architect takes more than creating a wonderful idea and presenting it to your client. The work involved in setting up your design firm can be overwhelming and 99% of it was never taught to you in school. Entrepreneurship. There is a reason I am starting here and not with design.

The reality of dating an architect might involve more coffee than champagne, and looking at the same sketch for 2 months. And anything else architecture related. Besides books, the flat is also covered in anything other architecture-related. Sketches flying around the rooms like paper planes, sometimes folded into one.

After getting into architecture school, one of the first things you learn is that the profession requires a lot of sacrifices and many years in order to reach success. It is the ability to make correct educated guesses, without repeating the whole process from the beginning. Sacrifice and Patience.

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.

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. But that’s not really the entire story is it?
