Success Through Architecture: Exploring the role of the contemporary architecture graduate and how those passionate about architecture are inspired by it and help create it

What is Success through Architecture

This project was developed and commenced by Alan Jones in 2014. It ran for three years as a UG and PG professional skills module project connecting the professional and employment landscape with student passions and skills with role models that might inspire them - that they can meet and interview - either face to face or digitally through skpe / facetime.

With over 100 interviews undertaken a website/database is online in detailed preparation - www.successthrougharchitecture.com.
There is also an associated facebook page with 496 likes and followers 210119





and explores and communicates the many definitions and outcomes of success during the process of studying architecture and becoming and practising as a registered and chartered architect.

Why Success through Architecture?

There is no readily available source of information on how architects and graduates of architecture currently locate and operate within the industry and wider world. This project started in 2014 with the aim to:

Research and present a wide variety of roles architects have within practice and in other areas of the industry
Undertake a series of interviews which will form a searchable database
Provide role models for architects and those in the process of becoming an architect
Help the RIBA develop their membership and support network for practice-based architects and those within the “extended profession”
