Relocating to a different country can present unique challenges for architects, regardless of our work experience or education level. As soon as we make the move, we are faced with a new reality that often involves adapting to unfamiliar practices, codes, and standards, as well as building new professional networks. This video explores the experiences of myself and hundreds of other architects who have moved to Western countries and faced these challenges. By sharing our insights, we aim to shed light on the realities of transitioning as an architect in a new country and offer guidance to others embarking on similar journeys. #architecture #architectureeducation #movingabroad https://lnkd.in/eRkPeNDq

Having sat on both sides of the table, architecture and main contractor, I have always been a big advocate of the benefits of architects spending more time on site. Too many architects or architectural practices don't see the point in site visits. But it should work both ways. Designers need to spend more time on site to understand the pressures of programme, cost, lack of design consideration etc. But at the same time, Construction/Project/Site/Commercial/Design Managers need to spend time in a design office to understand what it takes to actually produce the drawings. It really isn't just the click of a mouse button and what seems like the smallest change can cause the biggest problems! This sharing of experiences will only benefit our industry by driving better collaboration through the understanding of the project requirements from different perspectives!

Fully agree! Until one has set foot on a construction site the theory will remain just that. With #Accessibility being a MUST in the built environment, the basic build should be second nature in order to effectively deliver an #AccessibleHome which is really on another level completely. Architects, there is no replacement education for ‘getting the hands dirty’ then going back into the office and design from that perspective. #SiteTime #Education #Accessibility #HomeBuilds #EffectiveArchitecture

UK Architectural World The Architects' Journal Architects report ‘longest period of pessimism’ since 2009 Architects are reporting ‘the longest period of pessimism’ since 2009 with the industry weighed down by a plethora of problems, according to the RIBA In the institute’s latest Future Trends Survey examining the health of the profession, the RIBA’s figures yet again present a bleak outlook for practices over the next three months, as architects continue to expect workloads and staffing levels to fall. A blight of planning delays is among the biggest challenges currently facing architects, according to the institute’s figures for January.

'I have great admiration for an architect who does his job well, because he has one of the most difficult jobs in the world. He must be an artist but at the same time in his administration of a building contract be a business man, and in interpreting it even something of a lawyer.' #architect #architecture #architecturebusiness #thearchitectinpractice #design #engineering #engineeringcareers

For those of you who missed our 'Why do Architect's Merit Their Fees' Series we are relaunching them again on our website as a blog. Many developers and clients ask, "Why are your fees so high?" Unlike lawyers who earn higher fees, architects face salary caps despite similar education and training. This leads to burnout and attrition in the profession. Architects' fees are justified as they help save money, reduce construction stress, and create spaces that enhance well-being. https://lnkd.in/g--xEW65 #ArchitectsValue #EducationInArchitecture #ArchitecturalJourney #DemystifyingArchitecture #ArchitectureSchoolExperience #WhyArchitectsMatter #multiplex
