Brief Overview of Structure and Roles in Architectural Practices

Walking into your first architecture practice without understanding how it's actually organised is one of the most disorienting parts of starting out.

What it's about: 
The framework for how practices are structured, the different types of roles you'll encounter, and how responsibility is distributed across a project team, the basic hierarchy from student through to principal, the differences between design, leadership and specialist roles, and a practical way to understand how much authority and supervision comes with any task, so you always know where you stand and when to ask.

What's included: 
•    The full guide, covering the basic hierarchy and the differences between design, leadership and specialist roles.

Who it's for: 
Anyone about to walk into their first architecture practice, or still trying to make sense of how the one they're in is actually organised.
This is the foundation the full paid guide builds on, covering what each specific role actually does day to day, how careers progress, and what registration really changes.
