Adapt As An Architect : A Mid-Career Companion

The middle of an architect’s career can provide a turning point
for a bright future or be a directionless hinterland. How is it for you? Are
you where you want to be? Have you been forced off your preferred path by
unforeseen circumstances or are you drifting?

Adapt
as an Architect provides hope and direction. It is a crucial compass for
design professionals, seeking to navigate the vast heart of the architect’s
journey. It serves as a roadmap – a career GPS – with options for architects
getting from where they are today to where they want to be.

The
focus of this upbeat, engaging book is on how you can remain rejuvenated and
resilient without losing sight of the value of your acquired knowledge and
expertise.

By
signposting how you can maintain your relevance, doing what you do today, but
better and smarter, it also suggests how you can reinvent yourself by doing
something different but not so different. It provides the much-needed guidance
and support that is often missing once you’ve gained some experience in the
profession and are left to your own devices. It means that you won’t be left to
navigate those mid-career years on your own.
