Originally pu blished by En trepreneur Architect , Associate Professor at Louisiana Tech Kevin

J Singh gives his 21-point rundown of how to have a succe ssful and happy life as an

architect. The list gives some pointers that will certainly help young students and graduates,

but may well be useful to some of the not-so-young practitioners who need to refocus on

what’s important.

The following is a compilation of my professional practice lecture on the last day of class.

Instead of recapping the course or giving a final exam, I share with my students a

presentation titled Advice as You Finish School and Start to Practice. I present a series of

statements followed up with a brief explanation.

Networking is the Key to Advancement. Image Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons User Townsville Chamber

1. Get Started on Your Career Path

You can start earning IDP hours right after high school graduation.

If you haven’t already, sign up for IDP and get started on the path to licensure!

2. Don’t Get Caught Up in “Old Guard” Firms

The youth are the future.

Firms need to embrace the ideas, energy and enthusiasm of young people.

Be observant as to what the Millennials in the office are doing.

Make sure emerging professionals are valued in the firms you are interviewing with for

full-time employment.

3. Networking = The Key to Advancement

Get to know everyone in the Architecture community and allied fields (all ages and

experience levels).

Don’t underestimate the value of AIA membership and networking opportunities.

4. Don’t Get Upset by Clients that Think They Know Everything About Architecture

Be patient.

Educate and show multiple options (divergent thought processes) to open up thinking.

Be a professional.

Remember that you were educated as an ARCHITECT (not him/her).

5. Don’t Burn Bridges

The Architectural world is way too small.

Your actions and decisions will be remembered.

6. Look Out for #1

It is your career and yours alone.

Make sure you are getting the appropriate experience (IDP), opportunities and

compensation.

If you aren’t, MOVE ON!!!

7. Voice Your Opinions

The best ideas are never incorporated into projects unless they are heard, presented,

and defended.

Many processes in firms and details on projects can be improved if you simply point out

a better solution to decision makers.

An improvement is always appreciated by principals and clients.

8. You Must Design Your Career and Position

All of us are Unique = Unique jobs/positions

Continually reflect on your experiences to determine what you really want to do.

Make career decisions to attain this position.

9. Differentiate Yourself

Develop your unique skills and abilities.

Demonstrate how they make you a better employee and contributor.

Potentially utilize these skills to go out on your own.

10. Don’t Confuse an Internship with Full-Time Employment

An internship introduces you to how a firm and projects work.

Full-time employment mandates responsibility for your work and productivity (deadlines).

Full-time employment = STRESS!!!

11. Technology Will Lead the Way

You must stay at the forefront of technology.

Volunteer to learn new software and lead firm implementation.

Learn BIM and become proficient while in school.

12. Sustainability is Your Calling and Opportunity

If you endeavor to learn a lot about sustainability while in school, you will be able to

share your knowledge with current practitioners and become peers.

Take the sustainability lead within your firm.

Become a LEED Green Associate while in school.

13. You Need to be a Champion of Sustainably Built Environments

You must educate EVERYONE about sustainability.

Future clients will be the result.

14. Build Community

Only 2% can afford the services of an Architect.

What are you doing to help the other 98%?Get involved in your community.

15. Save the Profession

Architects aren’t compensated fairly because the general public doesn’t value (or know)

what we do.

Teach-Share-Show-Demonstrate to others how we improve the world.

16. Education Doesn’t End in School

You must continually learn to stay at the forefront of materials, systems and technology.

Don’t let the world pass you by.

17. Mentor

Help teach the next generation.

A two-way street (look up, look back).

You will learn something in the process, and be reminded why you joined this profession.

18. Never Get Grumpy

Continually be inspired by the next generation and harness their optimism and energy.

Be a positive and optimistic employee.

19. Fix Something

Jonathan Barnes !

One important piece of advice missing here: if you're not getting the

salary or experience you're looking for at your current firm, ASK FOR

IT, before you decide to leave and look for it elsewhere. Don't assume

The world is full of problems.

Choose one or two things, and fix them.

20. Complete the Task

You set out to become an Architect… so take the A.R.E. and become one.

Keep your eyes on the prize!!!

21. Final Thought

The easiest building to design is a box, but Architects don’t design boxes.

Architecture is about serving others through the design of the built environment. Make

sure your work is the best it can be through its service to others and contribution to a

more sustainably built world.

I hope this list provides you with an opportunity to think back to your time finishing school

and embarking on your career. If you could go back and give advice to your younger self,

what would you say? What advice would you give to the next generation of architects?

Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Buildings Architecture teaching should stop.

There is no need for it.

Yes. I placed some word behind because systems architecture is

useful, same as software architecture. But buildings architecture, as a

black box and no logical structure, has no real use.

People can build buildings without paying egocentric render artists.

U should speak for yourself myfriend..or better, not spek at

all...go live in the forest if u find buildings unnecessary

Have you ever wanted to live in the world of Pokemon? Would you

like to travel with your friends through woods, caves, towns, and

cities to engage in hyper-realistic Pokemon battles? Read more to

realize the potential for a Pokemon Theme Park.

The setting of the theme park would be a pristine island. The Island

would be covered in various terrains, as well as di"erent communities

that all have a unique personality. Guests at the park would interact

both with each other and paid actors who play the parts of all the

familiar characters from the Pokemon franchise. The background

story to the Park would be that visitors are competitors in a massive

Pokemon Tournament. They get to travel around the island and stay in

a variety of Hotel accommodations (i.e. campsites, small inns, andeven tall futuristic towers). The Pokemon battles would be held in

special arenas that are spread out through the park. The technology

that would be used to bring the Pokemon to life is already familiar to

concertgoers all over the world--holographic projection. The theme

park experience would be fully integrated with the Pokemon video

games. Visitors to the park would have the opportunity to 'import'

their Pokemon from their Nintendo DSs and Gameboys. Weekly top

scorers in the Park could win prizes and have their battles displayed

on screens in 'battle lounges' throughout the park. There would also

be a variety of side quests for visitors to discover and take part in.

u learn lots of things in my o#ce.

oo an no a goa .

and knowing Revit has nothing to do with a career.

Akos Trepinszki !

Tell your second point to BIM managers :)

! !

Kyle !

I would also like to echo the sentiments regarding working forextremely low pay, or even sometime free. Don't sell yourself for

cheap just to work for some starchitect.

! !

David !

Very courageous post and thank you for initiating the discussion.

However, I did not find it that inspiring. What constitutes success as

an architect? While many of the points are valid, many roads lead to

Rome. Courses for horses and all that. In my opinion, a better

discussion around the topic is 'How to be a happy architect' by Irene

Baumann. I teach professionalism in an architecture school, and I try

to open students to the idea that there are many career paths in

architecture and di"erent types of success. How can we, as

architects, build a profession that serves stakeholders, clients and us

better than it currently does? That would be a good question.

! !

Kangwa !

Very inspiring words especially tocme who is practicing in an

undeveloped country where architecture has still not being

understood as a solution to so many built environment problem but

perceived as a means of making money and surviving.

! !

Cyndy !

Passion - don't forget what made you start in this profession, keep

that passion with you and funnel it into everything you do even if it's

stair details and toilet plans. That passion will keep you going past the

seemingly mundane tasks we all must do along the way.

! !

George !

One advice to the recent graduates: study for the ARE while you are

young enough to have energy after work. I have 15 years experience,

consider myself quite knowledgeable, but have left the ARE aside

after several failed mistakes. The result? I cannot a"ord the exams

due to slow business, and I've had to pass by great business

opportunities b/c I am not licensed!

! !

Mike !

Point 11. BIM does not mean Revit only.... Revit is software that can

be used to communicate via the method of BIM. I suggest you

understand the di"erence before promoting a product

g. orr !

This advice pretty much is standard advice to any professional career.

However, entirely missing in this advice is the following:

1. learn how to build things

2. build things yourself and get dirty and sweaty. rip a few things

apart.3. learn to communicate visually with words because you have to

software because that will be your career path. you know if this

means you!

5. "lean in" this means if you have a better idea or cheaper way of

doing the same thing then speak up.

6. start your own o#ce and do your own thing if you prize

individuality, creative freedom, direct client relationships and like to

work hard. if you don't want to do everything above than resign

yourself to employee status and follow that chain of advancement.

7. be a kid. ditch the tie, the sober demeanor and live a creative life.

Take a business course and learn how to operate as a professional.

Advice I should have taken but didn't. A huge amount of my

professional dissatisfaction stems from the reality that we often don't

act like professionals. Other businesses and careers are respected

because they treat it like a business. It's not just a passion, you are

o"ering a professional service.

boxy !

Love how this article's cover photo is a view inside the o#ce of BIG, a

firm known for working its employees to the bone with 80-hour work

week and terrible salaries (at least in their NYC o#ce). But please, tell

me more about how to be "successful."

The minutes I spent reading this "advice column" I will never get

back. And this upsets me Kevin Singh.

Very inspiring; I agree that you learn more with people actually in

practice rather than school.

People have been building for millenia, do don't assume that new

software is a substitute or you'll end up on the helpdesk. Leverage thehelpdesk, don't pursue it; Technology is a tool for creating buildings.

All the "networking" advice is true, but falls under the "communicate

clearly with your peers" moniker. That's especially true in your o#ce,

every day.

15 & 21: Sometimes the best solution is the box. Borrow from startup

mentality: the 70% right solution now is better than the 80% solution

tomorrow. There is no 100%. Getting things done on time and on

budget is critically important to demonstrating the usefulness of the

profession.

Finally: It's hard to say, but if you're not successful as a business you

won't be helping anyone. For a successful career, you mustremember that Architects need clients.
