An article from the Age describes a bleak outlook for Architects in the upcoming years.
“One source put the Melbourne job losses at more than 100, with such firms as John Wardle, Hassell, Bates Smart, ARM and Hayball all believed to have made cuts.”
Some of the biggest names in Australian architecture are having to lay off their workers, making the world financial crisis a scary reality for many – the cuts come as a direct result of clients tightening their belts, and deferring major projects –
Though its just not the big fish cutting jobs, smaller firms are also having to let people go.
Karen McWilliam, said the industry was starting to feel the way it did in the early 1990s recession, when she started her career.
“The projects are coming through planning, and sitting on hold,” she said. Then, in the recession, many architects lost their jobs. In many cases they never returned to the profession. “It’s a well-known fact that many architects were driving taxis at that stage,”
Driving taxis.. that’s comforting, 5-6 years for a degree, countless nights without sleep, the sweat blood and tears that go with completing a design degree, not to mention the thousands of dollars in hecs debt. Only to wind up driving a taxi.
allanis morisette would probably describe this as ironic –
Expect to see many a rugged design graduate on street corners, smelling of rum with “will design for food” on a piece of foamcore
I myself work part time at a known construction company, and again and again im getting called the night before with “dont bother coming in today, there’s nothing really to do..”
But surely some good will come from the crisis (I’m a glass half full kinda guy) – architects and certainly all designers will have to diversify, expand their knowledge, gain skills where the industry is booming – perhaps the architect of the near future will be dabbling in all things design –

Everything published made a lot of sense. However, what about this?
suppose you were to write a awesome headline? I ain’t saying your information is not solid,
however what if you added a headline to possibly get people’s
attention? I mean design tavern » State of the industry – Architects in turmoil is a little boring.
You should look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news headlines to grab
people to click. You might add a video or a pic or two to grab people interested about
everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would make your posts
a little livelier.
not quite as exciting, but have you seen the youtube clip Deconstructing Sgt. Peppers? awesome.

shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
