Have you discovered that you do not fit within the traditional role of an architect?




Remember the wonderful element of the profession; flexibility. The truth is you can craft an individual path through specialisation, exact to specific requirements. It is possible to hone and focus on the creative or the technical and of course, both. Personally I aim my contribution toward Space Architecture. Imagine laboratories and space stations. Throughout my experience I have always researched into Nature. The discoveries inform my ideas and constructive methods help resolve issues we face. Furthermore, if the human built environment is not for you, then consider the factor of transferable skill(s). In combination with specific requirements you can pursue the design of objects, furniture, theatre sets or move toward marine architecture or the digital realm (virtual reality), the game/film/animation industry. These are just a few examples; do not limit yourself by expectations or norms and pursue your interests.

Understand Context

Observe and investigate the environment and history of a place in intimate detail. Whilst this method demands time it yields an informed response from you by default. This method culminates opportunities for constructive resolve and reason. Avoid quixotic investigation - whilst recording your (subjective) perception of place is important, the fundamental logistics should be driving objective observation. Search for novelties - perhaps there are those that can provide feedback and direction through experience. Remember to test the connections. Exploring the core of your posed question(s) should be a theoretical and physical practice in unison.

Education

In an exhaustive attempt to avoid gross simplification; education should be available to all. The fundamental intent of any School is to provide access to tested, proven and objective tools which the human collective have discovered and developed thus far. Following exposure to what we already know, each individual should be encouraged/taught/inspired to *think* (emphasis on original thought), ask the right questions and utilise methodologies to draw upon logic and rational enquiry. Naturally deter bias and not just recite information (we have devices for that). Rather, aim to identify the connections and significance of the data. It is also apparent that we cannot simply rely on a/one faculty to teach us and our children everything. We are limited by time and capacity, so focus on useful lessons, what is important to you and explore.
