Hello In the rapidly evolving landscape of architectural careers, a recent survey by the Singapore Institute of Architects revealed a striking statistic—only seven out of 100 architecture graduates plan to stay in the profession for the long term. This surprising trend underscores the need to delve deeper into the diverse career paths and experiences of individuals who have graduated with degrees in architecture. That's where your valuable insights come in. I am conducting a survey to gain a deeper understanding of the diverse career paths and experiences of individuals who have graduated with degrees in architecture. Your insights and experiences are invaluable in shedding light on the choices and opportunities that architectural education can lead to. Through this survey, I aim to: Explore the factors that influence architectural graduates' decisions to pursue careers in architecture or opt for alternative paths. Understand the motivations and challenges faced by those who have chosen different professions. Investigate how architectural education continues to influence the lives and interests of graduates, even if they are not practicing architects. Gather insights into the pursuit of additional education or certifications beyond the architectural degree. Your participation will help me build a comprehensive picture of the various avenues that architectural education opens, as well as the factors that shape your career choices. To participate in the survey, please click on the following link: https://lnkd.in/gXvBdPXV I sincerely appreciate your time and candid responses, as they will contribute to a richer understanding of the dynamics within the architectural field. The survey is intentionally concise, and you should be able to complete it in just a few minutes, requiring minimal time on your part. Thank you for being a part of this important study. Best regards, Ed Chew https://lnkd.in/gCaaPx-i

THE CRISIS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSION (PART 3) The profession of architects in Belgium is protected, which means that the intervention of an architect in a building project (new and reconversion of existing buildings) is compulsory. Therefore, architects are regarded as an unavoidable cost, and not as an actor that can make a difference on the level of quality, return on investment and cost of ownership. Nevertheless, in countries such as Switzerland, the revenue of architects adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity is a lot higher, despite the fact that there the profession is not protected (and therefore clients can freely choose whether they want to build with or without an architect). Protecting the profession does not guarantee a higher fee, on the contrary. As with any protected profession, architecture is subject to a deontology. In Belgium the deontology is regulated by the Order of Architects (Orde van Architecten - Vlaamse Raad / Ordre des Architectes), whose mission is clearly defined by law and is limited to three tasks: 1. The access to the profession: checking diplomas and qualifications; 2. The organisation of a two year internship after graduation; 3. The defense of the public interest: deontological penalties, checking if architects don't put their personal financial interest above the interest of society (in Belgium, architectural practices are not allowed to develop into full design/build/development firms, to build strategic alliances with manufacturers, suppliers and builders etc.). This implies that the Order neither defends the interest of the profession nor the architects against economical and legal constraints. This is done by professional organisations that act like 'unions'. However, they have a fragmented structure. They are many, poor, and therefore weak. PART 4 coming soon... *********************** This is an excerpt from my graduation thesis at Vlerick Business School in 2015. Recently, we have intensified our campaign for the dignity of the architectural profession.

Architectural Profession on the Verge of Tomorrow – Part Seven Naturally, this does not mean that we should immediately give up our traditional roles related to the design of buildings, cities and built environment at large. Being aware of our responsibility for the future of the planet, we should definitely continue to promote socialized, sustainable development, taking into account the entire life cycle of buildings and, through the CPD systems, constantly improve the level of our competences, which is a condition “sine qua non” for maintaining our credibility as responsible partners in investment processes, whose well-thought-out actions based on knowledge and experience bring measurable, quantifiable benefits. The experience of recent years has also led to the revision of many existing dogmas and paradigms, such as the world market based on "global supply chains". As a result, we may be facing a process of “green reindustrialization” of Europe, which, along with developing sustainable housing, improving the energy efficiency of existing resources (an area of long-term neglect), rebuilding the destruction (hopefully!) in Ukraine and other post-war areas, may become important fields of our activity in the coming years. And how should we teach students, future architects? Quite frankly, this may be the most difficult question, because it refers to an unknown future in a world of increasingly rapid changes. I think that we should continue to focus on interdisciplinary and broadband education, giving architectural students the opportunity to develop individually in the directions of their own choices. At the same time, they must be equipped with the awareness that even a best graduate of a university from the top of the world ranking list is only a diamond in the rough. In order to achieve professional maturity and not fall out in the ruthless competition, an architect must undergo continuous education, constantly expanding both “soft” and "hard" competences. And last but not least, we must not neglect the fundamental issue of professional ethics, which in today's painfully pragmatic world is too easily put aside.

The challenges faced in the field of architecture are undeniable. The pressure from competition, clients, economic setbacks, workplace culture, negativity, toxicity, and political situations worldwide can make the profession incredibly demanding. Many architects find themselves questioning their career choices as they experience a large exodus from the field. This reinforces the notion that architecture is becoming less rewarding than expected, echoing the French saying "L'Architecture est un métier ingrat". #Architecture #Challenges #CareerInsights The American Institute of Architects (AIA) LAU LAU LAU - Academy of Continuing Education (ACE) Order of Engineers and Architects of Beirut - Official Page

Architecture student on a quest to find out if personal branding is useful during university | Helping architecture students get the most out of their education | Want the industry to change -> start with the students
7 myths about architecture. (Myths I wish I knew before starting uni) Future archi students, this one’s for you: 1. Prior excellent drawing skills are a must. 2. After uni, you can only be an architect. 3. You won’t have time for anything else. 4. Architecture students don’t sleep. 5. Architecture is a one-man work. 6. All buildings need an architect. 7. Architects only design houses. BONUS: all architects get paid a lot. The profession and its academic path has a lot to offer and teach you. However, some things are a lot different than what you’d expect. What else would you add? — Found this post useful? Connect with me today –> Calin-Bogdan Maier Let’s have a talk!

What are the RIBA Work Stages? A common question I see architecture students ask and one that I think many are still not aware of. I've attached the RIBA Plan of Work (2020) diagram that goes into greater depth about what is expected for each stage of a projects life-cycle. So, whether you're a student studying architecture at undergraduate or postgraduate level, make sure you remind yourself of these important stages and get to grips with how they all work together as a guideline to see your project through from conception to reality. If you have any questions about the RIBA Work Stages or any queries regarding your studies or time in practice as a recent graduate, please send me a DM! #architecture #architecturaldesign #architecturestudent #university #architect #architecturaleducation #architectureschool #designer #design #riba #ribaplanofwork
