As an Interior Designer I 100% agree and it's my biggest gripe about the industry. I often think of Interior Design as a more user focused approach and the Architects as a more stylistic approach. I'm frustrated often when I get involved down the line a bunch of things haven't been accounted for such as users with disability or the lack of actual appropriate space allotted to specific functions. It's such an afterthought that it has begun to cause legitimate frustration for me in my career. If I had been involved from day 1 I could have advocated for the appropriate considerations but we're too far down the line now, it's half built.

such kind of thoughts are old. everything should exist in harmony

Anyone working two corporate jobs at the same time? Contemplating staying at the current employer while accepting a new role until the year-end bonus (12/31). Both roles remote for a foreseeable future. Putting on average ~18 productive hours per week in a current role, so I should be able to add 30-40 more for the next few months.

Hi Designers,
Been working as an Assistant Technician for 3 years (2 years excluding pandemic) pay is £21k now £22 adjusted for inflation. I will be completing my Part 1 in architecture but also have a degree in Technology, should I find a different company after graduation or take roles offering £30-45k as an Architectural Technologist/Technician.

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?
