With a twisted sense of pride, too many architects today accept the small firm stereotype of “starving artist”. Seeds planted in architecture school bloom into a full-on virus as professionals launch their own firms and find their way to small business. Architecture is a profession like law and medicine.

The Citizen Architect stays informed on local, state, and federal issues, and makes time for service to the community. Architectural schools are often staffed with educators who are ill at ease actually practicing in the “real world”.

When I was in my third year of architecture school, I picked up an issue of Entrepreneur magazine at the local supermarket. The intent of the committee is to explore and share information about business and the practice of architecture among its members. I purchased the magazine and that night read it cover to cover.

Around Architecture school, I hear most people dissing the themed Lego sets in favor of the creative freedom that come from the big box of various blocks. I now work for a small firm downtown called Propel Studio Architecture that works primarily on Accessory Dwelling Units, but also some residential and commercial alterations.

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. The acronym stands for “Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom.” Sacrifice and Patience. The system for explaining this process is called the DIKW pyramid.

The most successful projects though are the ones where we fully understand the people living and working within the architecture we design. Before we grab the roll of trace and start sketching with the Sharpie, we gather as much information about the users of our buildings as possible. Manage expectations and keep them informed.

Before starting my business I consumed a lot of information: podcasts , blog posts, books, and videos; there was always more to learn. What excites me most about practicing architecture today is that there are no rules, only possibilities. Making requires skill and an idea. I, for one, can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with.

I was conflicted at the time because a) I was really happy to have found a job right out of school when so many others could not, and b) I had one studio in school that I hated, and we mostly focused on retail design. Working at a small firm that did work around the country meant that my boss traveled quite a bit.
