Are we missing the real genius in architects? It's time to rethink our hiring criteria! In the world of architectural hiring, there's a monumental shift waiting to happen. For too long, the focus has been squarely on technical skills and glossy portfolios. But what if I told you that's only half the story? The true art of architecture isn't just about buildings; it's about building relationships, understanding, and futures. This profound statement captures the essence of what architectural firms should prioritize: mindset and adaptability. Consider this - an architect who listens deeply, learns from setbacks, and adapts with agility is more likely to co-create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally resonant and sustainable. These soft skills enable architects to navigate the complex web of clients' needs, environmental challenges, and the ever-evolving landscape of design trends. So, how can hiring practices evolve? By integrating assessments that measure how a candidate engages with feedback, their approach to problem-solving, and their capacity for adaptive thinking. It's about looking beyond the portfolio and seeing the individual's potential to contribute to a culture of innovation and shared learning. Let's champion a new paradigm in architectural hiring, where the emphasis on mindset and adaptability enriches our built environments and the communities they serve. Engage with this post if you believe in the power of mindset in architecture. Share your thoughts on how we can transform hiring practices to shape the future of our cities and spaces.

Are you still hiring architects based on the lowest price? That's a common mistake. Instead, let's talk about value. Clients often create a selection matrix, score everyone similarly, and select the lowest offer. However, the lowest price does not always indicate the best direction or provide the best value. When you're looking to hire an architect, ask yourself what they can do for your brand, reputation, and future. Don't just hire an architect, hire a partner. At Berry Architecture, we become that partner with you, and our success is fully dependent on your success. We are architecture plus more! Remember, while price is important, value is more important. Don't focus on what has been completed in the past, but on what they can and will do for you. Start hiring for the future, and engage with an architect who will become your true project partner. #architecture #valueoverprice #partnership #futurehiring #berryarchitecture #gooddesignmatters #reddeer #cranbrook #Kelowna #environmentaldesign #workingtogether

Why is everyone an “architect” nowadays? It started years ago in technology but there are now change architects, content architects and even inclusive cultural architects. This week’s @thetimes column on pretentious job titles which risk become ever more meaningless. And if your job title is meaningless, maybe your job is too… And why does the London offices of Teneo, a public relations company, have 108 managing directors, of whom 66 are “senior managing directors”? https://lnkd.in/epQijkvf #architect #changearchitect #contentarchitect
