Good afternoon I'm excited to be here with you guys and unfortunately we can't be here together but hopefully we'll be able to share our experiences shortly but I have a brief presentation on going to share with you so I've been in the field for over 25 years and had some exciting experiences that I want to share so you list as you can see this is a Time Square Pavilion here some of you may be asking what is architecture architecture I believe it is a combination of Art and Science that involves the 3/8 in both and overall look of the structure as well as the how the building looks but also developing plans and details to God the construction team to  you want the building to look so beyond you know who does architecture and what do Architects do Architects plan and design exterior and interior buildings but also in kinds of ways from school to offices to housing hotels hospitals anything that you can occupy as well as you know even the airport since and and Master Plan city so we also create large master plan that are very large scale for community service as well as cities and usually were involved in every phase of the building or a project from concept to completion so it's a long process but you know when we're looking at designing a building or looking at the function the safety the needs of the people that's using the building and also considering the client's needs as budget limitations as everything cost money so when we're also look get interior spaces and layouts and finishes Architects really are looking at the creativity and artistic ability and the visual you don't worry and Tatian so it's it's to be able to conceptualize and to understand spatial relationships so we so I have to have some written oral communication skills but also it's it's a combination of what I call Art and Science so why do buildings still look the way they do LOL it's through the development of the architectural Vision in the architect's Vision shrew characters of the exterior materials as well as interior materials but also programming in use and it involves Technology and Engineering and the design is basis so the vision comes from the character of how the architect fees to space from space is like classrooms for lecture to spaces that support technology that puts the human connection from Center no spaces to living studying work in collaboration so any place that you occupy as well as even spaces where we can be able to bring her ideas forward and open to environments rather than just in clothes. play some so it even goes to spaces for play and then it's a larger play then you know looking at places for us to connect and recharge our minds in North Shore sold so you know you may not consider the spaces that you're currently in is designed by an architect with someone designs that space and we have to look beyond that you know the complete ecosystem and looking at Architects consider the climate impact cuz building does having pack but we also look at the siding the solar the ventilation and there's a way to orient buildings in a way that impacts our climate so we need to comply with energy code compliance as well as a Building Code Compliance but the you may ask do you know who does architecture and you can be an architect there many Pathways and some of it may not be as traditional as others but if you're considering a career in architecture please make sure that you're high curriculum includes math science and art and even carrying a Sketchbook that use it in recording your notes or your surroundings is really a very helpful tool as a given event family patient is an opportunity to observe your environment so you know how do you become an architect is involved education experience and an examination and you know college education is required for therapeutic repast depending on how you develop your higher education secondary education degree and then you know what you can find out more about connecting with your mentors at the DLC CTE program as well as there's other in mentoring programs in mentioned before as well as additional resources that you should really and I'll be able to share these resources in these links available after the presentation so hopefully you find a passion in what you do as well as how you move forward and how you occupy space because design it everyone's the designer that from the clothes that you wear to the spaces that you occupy that's really an opportunity for you. an architect so hopefully you found this exciting enough that you find a little bit more about architecture I'll head there I'll see you Susan so I think there's just as many different types of Architects who won the last words that she mentioned was passion and you should definitely you know biscuit architecture surpassed there are certain kinds of architecture going to speak to you and other kinds then that aren't that much of Interest and you know learn that early on so just try to figure out what kind of buildings do I want to do what kind of the country do I want to live you know in a am I or am I more interested in homes or private space is so there's so many different aspects to how to be an architect send a message to feed into your past she did you know that I just mentioned about the educational requirements I'm definitely architecture is your path be sure you get into a program that is going to be recognized on many people go into programs that are not certified and have to jump to another program and lose time instead so is this is your path get on it and you know make sure that you're that you're in the right professional program stitch people if you have questions about it you know this Johnson asked me to talk my backgrounds in starting my own firm I've been working for over 30 years I worked for almost all of the time for other firms for August other Architects for firms that had you know 4280 employees or a couple of a partner level never made the leap to start my own firm until I was 50 something that's older than any way I should have done it earlier 57 I worked with a coach and I really talked I talked with her about what is it about architecture that I'm passionate about what is it that that I think I have to to offer and I should always done fordable housing work at it always been you how's the work that I did and I found it on the idea that if I was going to have my own firm that I wanted to have all my time focused on the thing I was passionate about affordable housing and the kids back to that word you know the thing that you want to live eat and breathe and have that be the focus because once you've got a mission statement and he's got to focus on the stuff falls into place and as I said I would have done it earlier people ask me my whole life when you going to start your own firm because I'm single I was always worried about the finances of if I was had my own firm so we never did it and I wish I'd gotten over that fear earlier encourage you to think think I'm on that if there's something that you feel very strongly about follow it and I think that's all stay right now well thank you so much I appreciate
