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. maybe there is, maybe the client wants or needs that!

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. It becomes easier to tell the client “No, that’s crap and I’m not designing it that way!”

Architectural schools are often staffed with educators who are ill at ease actually practicing in the “real world”. They find refuge in academia with its impressionable young students eager to learn what they have to say (since their prospective clients were not interested).

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.

The difference between someone doing well and someone doing great as an architect is not their design skills , it’s their ability to make a personal connection with the people who hire them (clients), work through problems by extrapolating similar conditions, codifying that process, and then understanding why some solutions work and others don’t.

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. Great post Bob! We should consider rolling in the AREs to coursework. to $1,500.00!
