Architect Archetypes: Epic Careers for Architects TODAY

Have you ever asked yourself what to do next with your career?

When we leave Architecture school, no one directs us where to go. We must find the path ourselves.

Today, a career in Architecture can be as diverse as we want it to be. Architect Archetypes are models inspired by patterns within the profession that can help us not only walk our own path, but also how to shape it into whatever we choose.
