SO YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ARCHITECT..?
What is Architecture? What do Architects do? How do you become an Architect?
Join a group of Edmonton-based Architects as they present answers to these questions. Speakers will share how they became Architects, the schooling they undertook, and other experiences that feed their practice. There will be lots of time for questions and answers. This event is aimed at students (and any others) who are contemplating a career in architecture and wondering what that might look like and how to get there.
