Architecture as a career path
Many students dream of becoming an architect because it is such a popular job.I talked to
American architect Suzanne Johnson Crocker to find out more about the advantages and
disadvantages of choosing architecture as a career.
Q1:Why did you choose architecture as a career?
A:When I was young.I knew I wanted a job that was challenging and would allow me to
keep learning.I considered chemical research,but I found myself bored by its limited range.I met
a friend in college who studied architecture,and I was excited to leam how architecture combines
art,math,and science.Whether working on historic structures or new projects,to me architecture
is limitless,difficult,and rewarding.
Q2:What are the best subjects to study at school if you want to be an architect?
A:The education of an architect centers on the studio,where communicating ideas is key.
Communication includes drawing.writing.speaking,discussing.and model making.To support
their work in the studio,students must study a variety of different subjects,including both general
classes and architectural classes.I was very lucky to have spent four years in liberal arts()
and science before studying architecture.This means that I am able to draw on a wide range of
learning experiences.
Q3:Do you have any advice for someone that wants to be an architect?
A:Keep your eyes on the goal.When I was at university,we joked that studying architecture
was harder than military training!We had long hours,tough assignments,and difficult exams.
You will go through a lot of difficult times when you are studying to be an architect,but
remember to enjoy life and take time out for hobbies and sports.
