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 –

I’m curious to find out what blog platform you are using?
I’m experiencing some small security problems with my latest
site and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any suggestions?
Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.|

At this moment I am going to do my breakfast, once having my breakfast coming again to read additional news.
Hello would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re working
with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a fair price?
Cheers, I appreciate it!
Right here is the perfect webpage for everyone who wants to find out about this topic. You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic that has been discussed for years. Excellent stuff, just excellent!|
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon on a daily basis.
It will always be exciting to read articles from other authors and use a little something from other sites.
Howdy! This article couldn’t be written any better!
Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept preaching about this. I’ll forward this information to him.
Fairly certain he’s going to have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses?
If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so
any assistance is very much appreciated.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of
plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it
seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know
any solutions to help stop content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.
Very good blog you have here but I was wanting to
know if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get responses from other
experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Many thanks!
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources
back to your weblog? My blog is in the very same niche as yours and my visitors would truly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here.
Please let me know if this alright with you. Many thanks!

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working
with? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough
time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most
blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve visited this site before but after browsing through many of the articles
I realized it’s new to me. Regardless, I’m definitely delighted
I came across it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back frequently!

At this time it appears like Expression Engine is the best blogging platform out
there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is
