Life of an Architect – Year’s Two (2011) and Three (2012) I will admit that in year two I fell off the writing pace I had set in year one, but not by much. In 2011 I wrote 159 articles and in 2012 that trend continued … I only wrote 96 articles. Today is a look at years two and three. Weird, right?

I found the jambox two years later in one of the other architecture school buildings, sitting there on a table as if that’s where I had left it the two years prior… … with no mix tape. Therefore, anything you read on this site is not a substitute for actually working with me. Following my casual advice is at your own peril.

You will get to do just about everything sooner rather than later – attend client meetings, contribute to the design, prepare construction drawings, organize and process bidding and negotiating information, and go to job sites. And no, school teaches you zero about being an architect. it teaches you to solve problems. Ann Agreed.

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!”

Over the past 40 years, the requirements for architectural licensure have increased tremendously in terms of time and cost to the candidate. While optional they are almost a necessity to be and stay informed and visible to colleagues and prospective clients. Great post Bob! We should consider rolling in the AREs to coursework.
