This architect loves coffee. Who would have guessed it?
Today I’m joined by US architect Gary Sadler. Gary is a successful architect and business owner of the architectural practice Upland Architects in Massachusetts.
In this episode we hear of Gary’s experiences from architecture student to owning his own firm of 15 staff members.
With architectural software taking and new technology being brought into this world for designing, how come universities still focus on learning hand sketching?
I was just re-watching the interview I had with the legend David Drazil from Sketch Like an Architect (https://youtu.be/cy06N7v1p2s).
Throughout that interview, he makes some strong points about why architectural sketching is still relevant (and will always be) and why it’s important to learn architectural sketching as an architecture student.
Starting architecture school soon and need some advice? Chris Morley, UniSA’s first year course coordinator shares with me (a third-year student) his best advice for starting architecture school.
Chris talks about what separates “successful” students from “unsuccessful” students, and the key factors that will help you throughout your first years of studying architecture.
Conflicting personalities and ideas, group members not showing up and group members not doing any work. These are just a few of the many frustrating scenarios that you will experience when doing group work in architecture school.
You’d be happy to know that group work isn’t always bad times and horror stories. In fact, working in groups has been some of the most rewarding and enjoyable times during my years in architecture school.
Anthony explains how you too can make group work your distinct advantage in architecture school by bridging his practice with educational work.
Ever wanted to run your own architectural firm?
Today’s guest, a Sole Practitioner from Australia with over 10 years of experience in the industry, shares his journey of how he made the dream of running his own practice a reality.
My University Coordinator shares his best secrets for being successful in architecture school and explains what you need to do to avoid being left behind.
Network = net worth as an architecture student. The more I think about it – it’s not WHAT you know, but WHO you know when it comes to success as an architecture student.
The key to success as an architecture student is networking.
As part of Sarah Lebner’s book launch event, an anonymous question we received was “How can I get a job as an architect after graduating my masters, without any previous work experience in the industry?”
How can you get better at architectural sketching? In this episode, I’m joined by the man, the myth, the legend – face of “Sketch Like an Architect” – David Drazil, to find out just that.
David talks about how you can be a better architect and use sketching to your unique advantage.
In this special hour-long podcast, I interview Anthony Laney.
Anthony is a founding partner of Laney LA, a “high-tech, high-touch” architectural firm in California.
6 years ago, Anthony was told by a mentor that he wasn’t “running on all cylinders”.
Although he had a comfortable and secure job as a Project Manager at a respected firm, he decided to give this “entrepreneurship” thing a go.
With a warrior’s spirit, Anthony has managed to learn an abundance of skillsets to help make the dream of running his own firm possible.
6 years in, Laney LA now has 12 staff members with no signs of slowing down.
Today, we have a conversation about how it all became possible.
We dive into the journey he took to go from architecture student, to successful firm director, and what you can do to start your own journey.
