Life of an Architect

APRIL 10, 2016

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.

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.

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.

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?
