About this conversation
Architecture can still feel hard to enter, especially for students, overseas professionals and early-career people without the right networks, money, experience or confidence.
Stephen Drew speaks with Laurence Richards and Joe Maguire about barriers to entry in architecture, including education, salaries, work experience, technical skills, portfolios, diversity and the practical changes that could make the industry more accessible.
The conversation covers:
How education routes and early choices can affect access to architecture
Why salary, location and remote working are part of the entry conversation
How meaningful work experience can open doors for young people

Ho ho ho! Christmas, Christmas is coming. Not long now. Procrastinate at your desk. Put this on for an hour and tell your boss you're doing some research. No one wants to work anymore. It's the time to kind of sneak off. Go to the kitchen. Have a chat with your boss. What are you doing for Christmas? How's your niece doing?
Whatever you can do to get out of that work. Anyways. The show will be revealed in 15 seconds.
