UrbCast: Can Architecture Be a 9-5 Job?

“Jake is a strategic thinker and designer and member of the Adidas Advanced Creation Technologies team. He is also the co-founder of Out of Architecture — a career consulting firm started by two Harvard-educated professionals interested in exploring the value of their skills both in and out of the architectural profession.

His main point (according to my understanding) is that all architects & designers, especially the young ones, should be fairly paid for the work they do. They should value their competence, knowledge, years spent at the university education and vast palette of skills.

He summarized: I’m so disappointed in architecture. I love the art, I love the work, and I love the people. The profession as a whole needs to be corrected. I can’t save the profession, but I can help individuals.”
