What are the biggest challenges facing the architectural industry today?
Lack of mentorship and investment in interns and young design professionals.
I was lucky to be part of hcma’s PREP Program, which helped me to navigate past the many barriers to registration.
I hope that in the coming years, more offices will be able to provide adequate financial and time support to students, aspiring architects and designers, as without this much-needed investment in architecture’s future, it will hinder the industry’s ability to grow and evolve.
