i got inspiration from notes of becoming famous architect blog therefore i am starting my own list of notes to becoming up and coming architect!
to check on how far am i from being a famous architect!
1. work for a famous architect
- i did get the chance to work with a few of singapore top architects such as scda architects, forum architects.
who should i work for next? maybe something more international time to head back to melbourne
2. pay attention to your glasses
- been paying a lot of attention to my glasses since secondary... people usually refer me as the guy with the giant specs! its a good start haha
3. do diagrams like BIG
- i always get reference from BIG website for their diagrams idea and applied them in my uni work as well as for exact work now. however, mine is still no where near them. but at least i am trying
4. make the most of your business card
-here are a few tips from Salanitro (owner of San Francisco-based, Oh Boy, A Design Company) for making the most of your business cards
Hand them to people when you meet them for the first time.
Give them to people every time you meet them, not just the first time.
Include one in everything you send out
Carry them everywhere you go. networking is the most effective marketing activity
5. pay attention to your clothes
- relationship between fashion and architecture is not a particularly oblique one. both are based on structure, shape and prettying up basic necessities - clothes and shelter. the relationship between fashion and architects is less discussed. yet even a glance at your garden-variety modern architect proves this is a group who are just as style-conscious as fashion designers.
like my idol sejima, she's always clad in comme des garcons
