It is one thing TO THINK you can do it, and it is a totally different thing TO KNOW you can do it! 💡 P R A C T I C E 🎯 An architect does true architecture only about 3% of her time. The rest is technical leading, detailed technical design, and active process leading, which all define the architect's role. The opportunities to do true architecture are rare. Maybe two to five in one's career. You need a proven track record, experience and recommendations, for someone to trust you with the architecture of a really complex and large system. So as an architect or an aspiring architect you need to PRACTICE. When the opportunity arises you need to be ready. You need to know that you can do it. You need to be confident, so you can convince others that you can lead the project to success. You cannot learn on the job. It is not enough time. You cannot try things on the job, because if they don't work you end your chances to get another opportunity. You need to apply things that you know that work. Things you've tried out before or you've seen them working in similar contexts. Practice on past projects. Just practice. Old projects are like dead bodies in doctors' practice. You know everything about the your old projects. Practice different system designs, different approaches, different methods. Design them in a another way and test if those designs hold water. It will be a valuable exercise.

It showcases your skills, projects, and achievements, making you stand out to potential clients and employers.

When should you hire an Architect? I commonly receive calls from clients enquiring about pricing. Usually, they have not contacted an architect yet, and this is one of my first questions. This question has many layers, but in short, hiring an architect should be one of the first things. As a Contractor, we need your ideas on paper. An Architect can act as a translator to do this and also make sure you are getting exactly what you want. If your ideas are communicated clearly by an Architect, it is the best way for a contractor to get accurate and competitive prices from our trade partners. #generalcontractor #realestatedevelopment #architecture

Okay, Junior Architects this one is on you and you need to hear this. I love being able to go home at a reasonable hour to be with family or go have some fun as much as you. But I also don’t like seeing senior architects stay late and I don’t want that to become my life either. The amazing thing is that YOU can make a difference so everyone can go home on time. If you don’t LEARN how to have ownership in your work, be thorough, and learn at good increments rather than after days or weeks of work. You not only impact your own career, but also your team’s trust in your work, the project as a whole, and senior architects staying late fixing your mistakes. It is up to YOU: 1. ...to make sure you have work to do during the day. 2. ...to keep you team informed as you progress through the list, not right when you are done. 3. ...to be able to find help and do your research. 4. ...to learn to ASK QUESTIONS at baby steps during the task rather than after a week of work. 5. ...to be accountable! The fastest way to build trust and have more design ownership is being accountable, having ownerships, and being thorough with your work. I’ll leave you with this quote that I heard a lot early in my career and don’t hear enough anymore. “Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable” – Eric Jerome Dickey Do you need help learning how to be an all-star team player? I teach professionals how to leverage simple strategies to accelerate their learning and development. Let’s connect and elevate our profession together. _____________________ Hello, 👋🏻 I'm Katelyn Rossier, and this is mentorDINO! 🦖 I’m an Architect. I am tired of seeing professionals struggle, unprofitable firms, and training being sidelined. I’m here to change this culture. I help design teams acquire the technical skills, professional development, and resources they DESERVE to lead successful projects and step into leadership roles with confidence. Get ahead: Learn now, experience later!

The term "small job" may not be something that falls into architectural profession, the reality is that there is no such thing as a job that is too insignificant for architects to consider. Money aside.. The true skill of an architect lies in their ability to approach any design challenge, no matter how seemingly minor, with a keen eye for detail, innovation and … and a creative, lateral thinking mindset. Architects are trained to view the world through a unique lens, one that allows them to find innovative solutions and unlock the full potential of even the most modest of projects Does it make them vulnerable to reinventing the wheel? Making simple things more expensive or complex. Perhaps. Yet applying their specialized knowledge and design expertise, architects can transform even the most straightforward tasks into opportunities to showcase their problem-solving abilities and create meaningful, impactful work that essentially changes the way world is perceived.
