Architects After Architecture: Alternative Pathways for Practice

by Harriet Harriss (Editor), Rory Hyde (Editor), Roberta Marcaccio (Editor)

What can you do with a degree in architecture? Where might it take you? What kind of challenges could you address? Architects After Architecture reframes architecture as a uniquely versatile way of acting on the world, far beyond that of designing buildings. In this volume, we meet forty practitioners through profiles, case studies, and interviews, who have used their architectural training in new and resourceful ways to tackle the climate crisis, work with refugees, advocate for diversity, start tech companies, become leading museum curators, tackle homelessness, draft public policy, become developers, design videogames, shape public discourse, and much more. Together, they describe a future of architecture that is diverse and engaged, expanding the limits of the discipline, and offering new paths forward in times of crisis. Whether you are an architecture student or a practicing architect considering a change, you’ll find this an encouraging and inspiring read.

A diverse collection of architects engaging in meaningful work post education. Inspiring and an eye-opener for the number of ways that are alternatives to the conventional architectural practice!!
