Young Architects Forum

See how other young architects and professionals navigate their careers through personal and professional growth. Read about alternative career paths that vary from local government to an international scale.

From our editor in chief, Nicole Becker:
"What do you think of when you hear “career growth”? Are you looking for a promotion? Do you aspire to own a firm? Maybe transition into academia? Practice in a new sector? Or do you want to pivot into a related specialty? Building on the perspectives shared in Q1, this quarter we’re elevating young architect voices and the immense value they bring across scales, disciplines, and expertise in “Growth and Career Evolution”. This issue explores the many forms a design and architecture career can take. Whether you’re in a firm climbing the leadership ladder, carving a niche in academia or advocacy, leveraging your skills in adjacent industries, or stepping into the world of tech and AI, there is no single blueprint. The profession is transforming, and so are the roles we play within it."

As a reminder our new feature this year, the ABC: Archi-TEXT Book Club, is at the end of this edition of Connection. If you read this quarter’s book we want to hear about it! If you loved it or hated it, whether it is one sentence or one paragraph, let us know! You can reach us at nicolejbecker1@gmail.com

Our next issue’s book club feature will be Likeable Badass by Alison Fragale, PhD. If you have any books you would like added to the list let us know!

Happy Reading!
