Practice

摘要

One of the great pleasures of my job as a senior partner at HawkinsBrown is interviewing and employing talented young architects. I am regularly blown away by their creativity and by the sheer quality and quantity of the work in their portfolios. In an interview about recruitment for the AJ last year (AJ 25.10.13) I was asked whether architectural education was preparing students for the workplace. For me, the bigger question is whether the workplace is really making the most of our talented young graduates. There is much written about Generation Y, those in their 20s and early 30s. And it is true, they do have a different attitude to employment. It is no longer about security and a job for life, but about opportunities and self-improvement, flexibility and 'me time'.
