What’s it really like to work in architecture? The hosts of Archispeak know, and they’re here to share real-life experiences. Since 2012 architects Evan Troxel and Cormac Phalen have been podcasting their brand of real talk on everything from design, tools, and work/life balance to generational differences, mentoring, job hunting, and more. Probing questions, revelatory interviews, and unique insights have grown their audience and become a weekly ritual for students and seasoned professionals alike.

#289 - An Architect Walks Into a Building

Topic

We have a conversation about the process of becoming a licensed architect in the United States and discuss the challenges of taking multiple Architect Registration Exams (ARE), NCARB’s rolling clock policy changes, and the need for change in the profession.

We also touch on the potential impact of technology on the licensing process with some personal anecdotes and opinions. We also talk about sticky notes, sketching, Cormac’s recent field trip to the University of Michigan Law School with his daughter, how architects can walk into buildings like they own the place, how students can prototype their possible career paths, and some tips on designing one’s life.
