Day to Day
The best days at work are either at the beginning of a project or toward the end of a project. At the beginning, there are days where we hold visioning sessions to envision the future of a project, when clients talk about their needs and start to picture how they are going to work in or inhabit their future space. At the end, there are days when construction is almost complete and we walk the spaces with the client to show them the results of our collective efforts.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
Architecture is an extremely broad field. There are many ways to be engaged with the profession even if you are not a licensed architect. However, if you want to ultimately own your own firm or be the lead architect on a project, you will need to go through the licensing process. My recommendation is to experience the profession and work in the field to get a sense of what it means to practice. Then you can decide if you want to follow through on getting your license.
