Answering your architecture questions. In this video, I cover: when/how to start your own studio and what I’d do differently if I had the chance to do it over. How to find the right clients and the steps to take once you do (templates/questions I use can be downloaded here: http://thirtybyforty.com/spl). How to develop your own personal architectural style and whether I think practicing architecture is creatively fulfilling. Learn how you can start being independent (right now) and how having a side hustle is key.
I share my approach to construction cost estimating, balancing competition and academic work, and my thoughts on a career path that promotes freedom and choice rather than indentured servitude. And, lastly there’s the story behind the name 30X40 Design Workshop.
This is a wide-ranging discussion and the questions are all drawn from the channel’s subscriber feed. Make sure you’re subscribed to the channel and click that notification bell for the chance to submit your questions the next time I post there and you’ll be the first to know when something new comes up. Thanks to all who submitted questions and for your continued support. Cheers my friends!
