The resourceful architect
What else can architects do?

The construction market is one of the hardest hit by the credit crunch and if recent news is anything to go by, students of architecture are expected to graduate with limited immediate prospects of employment as architects.

This project asks how could students turn their knowledge, intellectual discipline, and visual skills into virtues outside the context of architectural practice, and what advantages would come from a greater distribution of architecture professionals working in non-architectural jobs?

This project is open to undergraduates, postgraduates and those in the first year following graduation
