Helping you find a career in the architecture industry
Architecture physically shapes our whole world. You name it and it'll have been designed by an architect. Put simply, they dream-up, plan and create entire buildings.
Architecture is an extremely well respected career and to become a fully-certified Architect requires a degree plus years of extra training. However, the rewards are also great as you get to see your designs come to life and be a part of the world for generations to come.
It's also big business as governments and corporate companies compete for the most high-tech and aesthetically pleasing buildings. Large projects, like a new shopping centre, will have millions of pounds of investment behind them.
Working in architecture will require you to balance a number of priorities on a day-to-day basis and across the course of a project. At each stage in the process architects must balance aspects such as: aesthetics and design, the environment, new technology, safety, social value and the needs of the area.
