#289 - An Architect Walks Into a Building

TopicWe have a conversation about the process of becoming a licensed architect in the United States and discuss the challenges of taking multiple Architect Registration Exams (ARE), NCARB’s rolling clock policy changes, and the need for change in the profession. We also touch on the potential impact of technology on the licensing process with some personal anecdotes and opinions. We also talk about sticky notes, sketching, Cormac’s recent field trip to the University of Michigan Law School with his daughter, how architects can walk into buildings like they own the place, how students can prototype their possible career paths, and some tips on designing one’s life.Episode LinksCormac’s instagramCormac’s old blog post on his love for pensUniversity of Michigan Law School architecture (click through the slides to see the buildings)Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans (Amazon)Stanford: Designing Your Life courseAlexander Calder (Wikipedia)Jackson Pollock (Wikipedia)National Gallery by I.M.
