Architecture and Beyond - Series of Three Articles

Architecture and Beyond

In less than a week, I have posted the following three articles to my Becoming an Architect Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/ARCHCareers/]. 

All three highlight the power of an architectural education; they highlight the myriad of career paths one can pursue after an architectural degree.

This article in the UVA News highlights Stephanie Connock, an architectural graduate and her entry into the culinary arts.

In contrast, this article in Architizer highlights six different career paths - 1) Film, Video and Animation, 2) Tech and Web Design, 3) Fashion, 4) Jewelry, 5) Interdisciplinary Research, and 6 Ice Cream.

This last article is a summary of a panel discussion of previous architects as they transitioned into careers in technology.

All three are worth reading regardless of your career path as you see the power of design.
