Networking is everything as an architecture student. It’s not what you know – but WHO you know.
In this episode, architecture student Christopher Johnson talks through his experiences with local networking events, his participation mentoring students, his involvement with the Canadian Architecture Student Association and various other groups and boards.
The world of architecture is huge. Architects need to know how buildings go together, how to deal with clients, the industry, technology, business and how to design. Your formal education covers how to design. So, what about everything else?
Today’s guest is an award-winning Principle Architect at Lighthouse Architecture and Science, and author of “101 Things I Didn’t Learn in Architecture School (And Wish I Had Known Before My First Job), Sarah Lebner.
What’s life like as a final year architecture student? Is it really THAT hard? How can you prepare?

Today I interview Serena Rakha from Lebanon, a student who has recently finished her first semester of architecture school.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us Serena.
On today’s episode, I talk through some of my reasoning behind why I don’t care about my grades in architecture school.
Specifically, I’ll talk about:
• Learning from your grades
• The best lessons in life aren’t from your successes, but your failures
• Pushing yourself into new challenges, outside of your comfort zone.
• Caring about the opinions of others
On today’s episode, I try to clarify what the most important tip for architecture students is and share some of the key things that successful people have in common.
Specifically, I’ll talk about:
• The impact of replacing “I can’t do that”, with “how can I do that?”
• How in this day and age, we get carried away reacting to things – social media, new trends – and how we are more and more being driven away from our own creativity and productivity.
• The importance of having a “bigger vision” in mind so that you have something to aim at.
