Both interviewees, perhaps coincidentally, came to my attention through Portland State University: one an alumnus and one a visiting professor — filmmaker Sky Hopinka and architect Kevin O'Brien — each pursuing ideas informed by their Indigenous heritage. You're just singing the information about where to go.

The fact I included a case study chapter in Buildings in Print , as mentioned above, points to my appreciation of this sub-genre of architecture books but also to the role they have played in teaching architecture students, spreading knowledge around important works, and promoting architects and architecture within and beyond the profession.

I’m simply postulating that firms that are small like mine, that we might value the same sort of criteria differently than a larger firm. Either way, don’t underestimate the value of your personality and interests.

Simply based on my inbox, there is a new batch of bright and shiny new future architects about to graduate and they are on the hunt for their future … hopefully in an office like mine. Every graduating architecture student has a portfolio – even I had one, and I maintained it for several years too.

Also, where I spent a ridiculous amount of time building basswood models, most of the students I talk to these days send their digital files to a laser cutter and have the pieces of their model cut for them. Do you know the true purpose of an architectural portfolio? . What exactly is it about the assignments that make it hard?

What you know have is a folded up drawing 1/16th the area it was previously with the sheet title information on the outside corner. Here it is – an unfolded 11″x17″ piece of paper … if your office is anything like mine, you have thousands of these laying about your space. ″ x 7.5″

It also helps me know which rolls of trace paper in the office are mine. Travel sketchers and architecture students would all enjoy better success if they knew, say how to pull the pencil to keep an even lineweight.

It is extremely complicated and we are using Rhino and Grasshopper (fancy modeling software) to help generate and document the design – I’ll show it on the site here when I have a bit more information to present. The stuff the architecture students are learning in college is whacky. Cool, but whacky.

While optional they are almost a necessity to be and stay informed and visible to colleagues and prospective clients. That has a LOT to do with lack of information and education at the university level. I hope that people come to understand that while the IDP process is complicated, the information is all out there for one to learn.

I’m a 20 year old architecture student from India and I do believe I’m going through an identity crisis, right in the midst of my submissions too! I did mine and everyone, including the teacher, thought my parents did it. Something a master machine can’t make. Alan Manning Great! Meghana Hegde So insightful!
