Hello guys
Past couple of days my mind was kind of stuck on few thoughts. I am soon going to apply for the TU University in Vienna, Architecture. I know allot about this industry, have been investigating allot.
However there are few things that are bugging me. My dad has been in Arhitecture business for about 35 years and 30 of those he has been running his own firm. There were the bright moments and stressful ones. Last couple of years the business and everything that was connected with architecture just drooped on lover level.
My general opinion is that Architects are a bit underrated and not many people understand how hard is to start, run and finish one architecture project especially with limits costumers set you. As a result, one architect, despite working hard, will hardly reach some higher level of wealth (maybe I am wrong, but this is my opinion, correct me if I am wrong).
So what would future of Architecture industry look like ? Should I focus on the green design where people will need that most? Or go on some other areas of architecture that you think will grow in the future and which one to avoid that you think will decrease in size ?
I love architecture and I cant see my self in anything else, but I dont want to live on the edge of poverty in the future. I also think that architecture is the industry that requirs wealthy community.
Thanks
