Big Topic, Small Thoughts

1. Globalization and advancement of technology had bring architectural consultancy firm to huge success.

2. Local firms (100) vs International firms (1,000)

3. What are the elements that are important for a firm’s

survival?

4. Scale of Minimum Fees, is it applicable in real world industry?5. Vulnerability of architectural practice with real estate

industry performance?

6. Any strategies and solutions yet?

7. What can students do to brace ourselves?
