So I have this client who tells me that in the last few years, all the people he went to school with have disappeared from the profession. He doesn’t know where they go, just that there’s an invisible wall for designers around the age of 45. Hmmm.

Looks fairly close to reality. I am in my 51st year of practice, still drafting and designing by hand and pencil. I am enjoying it as much now as I did in the beginning.

Friday September 17, 2010 at 1:56 pmConsidering most Architects(designers)first come into their own at age 40, it sure would make for a short career high. More accurately, few Architects “retire” and while they may not be at their peak in their latter years, they can bring the value of a lifetime of experience to one of the most complicated of professions.
