You want more clients — even better clients, more of those "perfect" projects, and possibly more staff to help handle new business. What do you do?

The lack of women in the industry is not due to a “pipeline problem” as is the case in most male-dominated fields, given that nearly half of all architecture students are women. In fact, data shows that more women enrolled in architecture courses than men in the United Kingdom in 2021.

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. Whats your guess.

Of the numerous books publishers send me for review — be they requested by me, pitched by them, or arriving at my doorstep unsolicited — the highest percentage of them are monographs. But books, in my opinion, are better archives than websites, offering architects a further level of control over the finished product compared to websites.

I personally feel that having fewer licensed architects is bad for the profession because good designers will go unlicensed and clients will start to recognize (correctly) that they can hire unlicensed designers who are equally qualified to do the work.
