Exploring Architecture: Career Paths, Personal Journeys, and Inspiration - 1 to 100 Podcast

Architecture careers are not one clean route. They are shaped by education, confidence, personal circumstances, opportunity, support and the willingness to keep adjusting.

Stephen Drew joins Amanda, Naomi Bethany, Adonai Ray and Cindy Besmar on the 1 to 100 Podcast to discuss architecture careers, personal journeys, COVID-19, education, Architecture Social, alternative routes, confidence and support systems.

The conversation covers:

• How the pandemic affected architecture students and professionals
• Why personal journeys in architecture are often non-linear
• How Architecture Social started and what it was trying to support
• Why confidence, skills and support systems matter
• How alternative paths can still use architecture training
