S1 EP13 with Arch. Gurmukh Panesar of Grasp Design

How can you as an Architecture student, a  graduate Architect or a Young Architect guide your career towards fulfillment and success in this increasingly competitive industry?

SPOILER ALERT: When starting an Architecture Firm from scratch, being a good Architect is half the battle, the other half lies in the business management.  Reality quickly checks in- there's so much more to deal with.

Hopefully this  episode with ARCH. GURMUKH PANESAR of GRASP DESIGN will leave you better equipped to face these challenges.
