Are architects born or made? That’s a good question. Many fellow architects we meet in our daily lives will admit to being fascinated with creating and building models from a young age. The longer one stays in the profession, the more fascinating it gets.
In this Architecture as a Career Podcast series we chat about our own journeys as well as ways to encourage budding baby architects and interns, as well as the challenges and triumphs that members of the profession experience.
