This is the eleventh recorded episode of The Broke Architect Podcast brought to you by the Global Architect Alliance (GAA). In this episode I talk to Sophie Hoppe who is a senior architect based North of Sydney, Australia. Sophie is originally from France and has moved to a number of different countries throughout her life before settling in Australia. In this episode we talk about what it's like to practice architecture in Australia, how she was treated as young mother in practice, developing chronic fatigue, the lack on contract and site experience and how mentorship is so important.
