LUNCH WITH LEADERS IN THE ARCHITECTURE INDUSTRY

Anna, Lauren and Lauren representing Team ROUSSOS at the Business of Design Lunch today, hosted by Association of Consulting Architects. They heard from guest speakers, Kerry & Lindsay Clare from Clare Design - two prominent designers in the space to discuss current social, environmental, industry and practice challenges and opportunities. 

“If I were a Graduate in the Architecture industry, am I better to go to a large or small studio?”

This is the question that Anna posed to Kerry & Lindsay, and they provided great insight to how this might look for a Graduate entering the workforce. They expressed the importance of getting a range of exposure in your early years, and with this, smaller may be better so that you can gain experience and insight into all aspects of a project. With this, site exposure was also mentioned as a key defining point within the early years of someone’s career in Architecture. 

On the other hand, a larger studio may see you working on one specific part of a project, therefore potentially limiting that exposure. So, if someone does want to go to a large studio as a Graduate, how do they gain that full exposure that a smaller studio may be better placed for within the early years of their career? 

An insightful conversation & a great lunch with leaders in the Architecture industry - thank you, ACA.
