Architects Branch Out (Architect’s Newspaper, May 2012)
The Coolhaus ice-cream sandwich truck in Los Angeles was started by architectural graduate Natasha Case. - http://eatcoolhaus.com/
“Students entering architecture do not think about being a planner or a cartographer or a writer. Challenge yourself to better sell your considerable skill sets, and to “design yourself,” and your career, just as you would an architecture project. You know about the design process, so why not apply it to yourself?” – Lee W. Waldrep, Ph.D.

THE MULTITASKERS (Architect, Jan ‘11)
• Not just delivering buildings, architecture is a way of thinking. Architectural training lends itself to a range of applications. Below are four professionals who have gone beyond the building, extending their practices into other domains. From children’s furniture to metalwork, preservation to politics, the projects demand a strong critical eye and an expertise in problem-solving. In short, they act as architects. •
The Politician (Soren Simonsen, AIA) – Salt Lake City Council – Sees career as place-making, splitting time between architecture and policy making. “Policy influences so much of the work an architect does and I really want to be a part of that.”
•
The Materialist (Jennifer Carpenter, AIA) – –
Architecture, Furniture and Product Design -- “Even though design disciplines are quite
•
distinct, materials are the common thread,” she says. “There’s a lot of discovery that can come out of the material iterative process.” The Craftsman (Lara Stanley, AIA) - Metalworks – “Architectural education can expand into other types of practices that can be very rewarding,” Stanley says. “I tell all of my interns to think of architecture more broadly.”
•
The Preservationist (T. Gunny Harboe, FAIA) – Preservation
– “It’s often assumed that because it’s preservation, there’s not all that much design involved,” “In reality, there’s lots of design, particularly in finding a technical solution that has vexed the building fora long time.”

Nic Granleese, “Para-architect” an architectural photographer - www.nicgranleese.com • To be an architect--or not to be an architect. Or to be an architect without really being an architect. Or to be something else with a background in architecture. That is the question. • Proposes a new term for architects doing other things: paraarchitect. Etymologically speaking, 'para-' means 'beside, near, alongside, beyond'. • “For me personally, being an architect is ingrained in my identity. So I feel obliged to include it in my description, and to say this is where I have come from. But I also need to make sure everyone knows that I am not currently open for business as an architect. So non-practicing architect seems like a reasonable term for the time being. • Maybe a better term for us divergent architect types is para-architect. Just throwing it out there, but it may be a way of freeing us from a strict definition of what it is to be an architect, and allow us to create a new identity.
STRETCHING THE DEFINITION OF ARCHITECT Architectural Record – July 2002
Mako – the Flower Girl
Ed Keller – Associate Professor – School for Designed Strategis – Parsons AUM Studio – architecture, interactive + locative media
Mimi Zeigler: loud paper – dedicated to increasing the volume of architectural discourse.
Garrett Finney: At NASA, he works on the "habitation module" (NASA-speak for the place where astronauts eat, sleep, bathe, relax - their home away from home). He is a "space" architect. But he wants to design things that will actually get built in his lifetime. Combining his NASA experience with his love of the outdoors, he worked to create an innovative lightweight, compact, and flexible small environment in which to travel and explore the world we live in. The result is Cricket.

Class of 1984: 20 Years After ‌ Career field - Two-thirds (n=23, 67.6%) indicated Architecture. Other career fields listed included: Law, Education, Sales, Historic Preservation, Design-Build, Product Development, Marketing, CAD Drafting, Mechanical Design, Urban Design, Interior Design, and my personal favorite, Mom. Reasons for pursuing other career fields ranged from no funds for further education to architecture was not a good fit. Advice – the most common response was to share how an architectural degree prepares one for a number of career paths. Ironically, this advice proves true, as nearly one-third (n=11) of the graduates returning the survey pursued a career field other than architecture.

10+ CAREER PATHS IN PRACTICE Blogger: John Gresko, @JohnGresko | Architect | Chicago, IL | July 2012
•
Designers – Their work encompasses a huge spectrum of work. These folks come up with the vision for a project.
•
Planners – These folks are typically looking downwards…in plan that is. They have specialized in a type of building design (like health care, laboratories, toilet rooms) and have mastered all the adjacencies and functional space requirements for these types of buildings and their spaces. Technical – They take the baton often started in early design and see it through construction documents. They can specialize in any of the above and still specialize in production work. BIM Modelers – These folks manage the BIM model to ensure that what is being modeled is appropriate and basically prevent file melt downs. Just keep your s%#t on the right workset and they’ll be happy with you. Life Safety/Code/Accessibility – These folks know the codes and make great party guests.
•
•
• •
•
Specifications – These folks manage company and/or project specifications. They are responsible for the quality of all that goes into the design. They meet with product sales reps and have really good construction knowledge. CCA – Construction Contract Administration folks visit the construction site to verify that all is going as intended. They process submittals, write field observation reports, and generally give contractors heartburn.
10+ CAREER PATHS IN PRACTICE •
Graphics – Some people find their talent and interest lies in using the latest software. These folks build models, render, and assist in marketing efforts. They are quick on the PC and don’t mind missing out on some sleep once in a while.
•
Programmers – Specialize in a particular building type. They count up all the new spaces for a new building and work with the client to designate the proper amount of square footage for each space. They also specialize in process improvements. Interiors – They can do anything and everything interiors… Enclosure – The folks that specialize in designing and production work for all types of facades and roofs. They specialize in how to make building enclosures perform as intended. No leaks mean they have done a good job.
• •
•
Estimating – Estimators have a good read on the economy and the supply and demand for materials. They help validate that the budget is on track
•
Management – Timesheets, staffing, yawn, project budgets, project schedules, contracts, heavy client interaction, authoritative. I hope I got this right… don’t want to get fired. Sustainability – LEED AP often comes after their name… and usually they are advocating for everyone else to have it after their name too! They specialize in everything green. Dang, they are a passionate group of people if I haven’t seen a passionate group before. Marketing – No marketing, no work. Know marketing, know work. These folks like pressure and sleuthing. They tend to golf real well.

SKILLS? “Do the thing you're good at. Not many people are lucky enough to be so good at something.” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
COMMUNICATE • Communicate – amazingly, communication is the most sought after skill yet many do not recognize its power in both their job search or career pursuit. • You present your architectural work to colleagues/clients; now, tap that ability to present your “self” to prospective companies and new career fields. • Contact professionals in and beyond the field to conduct “informational interviews” and learn firsthand their discipline.
COLLABORATE • Collaborate – perhaps, one weakness of an architectural education is teamwork. • Unlike the “real world,” students do not always collaborate in teams (other than fellow classmates) or even manage people while in school. • However, do not underestimate the skill set of working with people and its importance when you enter the workforce.
INTEGRATE • Integrate – architecture is all about integration; as architects, much of what you do is all about “integrating.” • Continue and even promote this integration as you determine your path and profession.
RESEARCH • Research – One of the most valuable skills learned is research, but you may not fully utilize research skills when seeking your career path. • Truly research possible employer types for hire and aspiring career paths. • Contact a professional association or the Bureau of Labor Statistics to research an occupation to pursue.
CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING • Creative Problem-Solving – perhaps more than other skills, you possess problem-solving skills that can be transferred to any career field / discipline. • But truly think about what problems you wish to “solve” in your career and pursue it with a passion.
DESIGN • Design – to attend architectural school is to learn to “design” as a process. • Determine how you can use design as a skill that expands your career horizons. • Ultimately, design your career.
LEADERSHIP • Leadership – equipped by training and temperament to see many sides of an issue and to devise out-of-the-box solutions. • Think both creatively and technically at the same time. • You work in teams and deal with overlapping responsibilities and divergent points of view.

FUTURE FOR ARCHITECTS? For those willing to take up the challenge, there has never been a more exciting time to be an architect. We have the talent, tools and processes to make an enormous difference, if only we are willing to use them. This is a leadership opportunity. Perhaps Benjamin Franklin said it best: “All the great maxims have been written; it only remains to put them into practice.” -- Scott Simpson, Sr. Fellow of the Design Futures Council (Jan 2013)

THE BUILDER Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, “life is a do-ityourself project.�
