In this special hour-long podcast, I interview Anthony Laney. Anthony is a founding partner of Laney LA, a “high-tech, high-touch” architectural firm in California.

6 years ago, Anthony was told by a mentor that he wasn’t “running on all cylinders”.

Although he had a comfortable and secure job as a Project Manager at a respected firm, he decided to give this “entrepreneurship” thing a go.

With a warrior’s spirit, Anthony has managed to learn an abundance of skillsets to help make the dream of running his own firm possible.

6 years in, Laney LA now has 12 staff members with no signs of slowing down.

Today, we have a conversation about how it all became possible.

We dive into the journey he took to go from architecture student, to successful firm director, and what you can do to start your own journey.

Studying from home can be a challenge for some students. With the whole COVID-19 thing going on, it’s forced us into some uncomfortable and unheard of situations . . . well, not for me.

As an architecture student, for the past 4 years I’ve been doing most of my study from home. I’ve developed some small tips and tricks to help manage my time better to get more work done.

So, for those of you out there struggling with this, let’s find out how you can self-manage your time better as a student, and get more done at home, without the guidance of your teachers.

The world of architecture is huge. Architects need to know how buildings go together, how to deal with clients, the industry, technology, business and how to design. Your formal education covers how to design. So, what about everything else?

Today’s guest is an award-winning Principle Architect at Lighthouse Architecture and Science, and author of “101 Things I Didn’t Learn in Architecture School (And Wish I Had Known Before My First Job), Sarah Lebner.

Sarah shares some of the most valuable things from her book and talks about her frustration regarding the gap between students and industry knowledge – and how you can bridge that gap.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn important information on what you won’t learn in architecture school – but need to know when moving into the profession.

You’ll be able to understand how a firm is structured, and where you sit in that hierarchy. You’ll learn about fees and clients, terms such as “procurement” and “tendering”, what it’s like working in a firm, the software you’ll be using, how you can gain more technical knowledge and lots more.

We’ll even be finishing up with a Q&A, asking Sarah some of the most common questions I get asked on the Successful Archi Student platform.

What’s life like as a final year architecture student? Is it really THAT hard? How can you prepare?

Hendrik Boshoff is an Honours architecture student at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).

Hendrik’s had his rough times. With his parents moving out of the country while still in University, he’s been forced to survive on his own.

His adversities and hardships have made him into the hardened warrior he is today.

Hendrik learned life’s necessary skills and went out to find work. It wasn’t easy – but came across an opportunity with CAD International, one of Australia’s largest architecture and design software resellers.

Along with this, he battles with the not-so-easy final year of architecture school in his honour’s degree.

Hendrik is also working on his Kitchen and Bathroom Design Podcast (https://soundcloud.com/kbcdesignpodcast) in association with CAD International and Archline.xp, a software for interior and residential design.

Get in contact with Hendrik and check out some of the work he’s doing:

On today’s episode of the Successful Architecture Student’s Podcast, I talk with Jeannie Chan from Sydney, Australia.

Jeannie is now in her 3rd week of architecture school at UNSW. I find it difficult to reminisce back to my early days of architecture school, so Jeannie, with her first week fresh in her mind, is kind enough to share those experiences with us.

From what it was like during orientation, to what classes she has for her architecture course. Jeannie also talks about how you shouldn’t be nervous, and how you can go about getting familiar with the campus and make new friends.

Not only does she explain the process of orientation in University, but Jeannie also shares some really valuable and important tips and advice for students starting University.

Thank you for spending the time to share your wisdom Jeannie!

Danial is a college student studying in Melbourne, Australia.

Although he’s not currently studying architecture specifically – I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring him on the show to talk about preparing for architecture school.

We talk about some of the things he does to get ready for the big bad world of architecture – including travelling, reading and practicing.

Danial also shares his thoughts about famous “starchitects” such as Bjarke Ingels, Zaha Hadid and Norman Foster.

Thanks for a great chat Danial!
