Recently things are changing for architecture students in the United States. Though, today, many schools do not enforce these rules, the AIAS and current generations of architecture students are taking on the responsibility to educate their peers and are advocating against the unhealthy and unsafe practice of the legendary all-nighter.

This month, the #ArchiTalks topic is “Back to School”, so I am encouraging my fellow small firm architects to go back to school themselves and learn what they need to know to find the work they want and live a life they’ll love. As small firm architects, how do we get noticed by those prospects? Back to School.

I had many interesting conversations with architecture students while I was in Chicago. Others wanted to know about how to start their own firms. These students are working to become residential architects and in many states, working with a licensed architect is not a requirement. Some were concerned about finding a job.
