How to Future Proof Your Architecture Career
In this episode, Stephen sits down with Ami Nigam, Head of Design Technology at Benoy, a leading global architecture practice based in London.
Ami shares his journey from studying architecture in India, to working internationally, to discovering computational design, BIM, and AI, and eventually creating a role that didn’t exist inside a major firm.
This conversation goes beyond software. We talk honestly about architecture careers, future proofing your skills, AI in practice, and what firms actually value when hiring architects today.
If you’re a student, Part 1, Part 2, or early career architect, and you’re unsure what skills will still matter in 5 to 10 years, this episode will help you think more clearly about where to focus your time.
