A Day in the Life of an Architect 🚧✨ One of the most exciting parts of working at kenAR Architects is stepping out of the office and immersing myself in real-world experiences. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a site at Govindsarajanagar, Bangalore, to inspect ongoing construction work. From reviewing intricate design details to collaborating with the construction team, this site visit was a perfect example of how architectural ideas come to life. It’s fascinating to see how sketches, 3D renders, and hours of planning gradually transform into tangible spaces. What I learned that day: • Attention to detail is everything. A slight oversight can lead to significant changes. • Teamwork is key. Coordinating with contractors, engineers, and site supervisors ensures everything aligns with the design vision. • Every day is a new lesson. No two site visits are the same, and each one sharpens your problem-solving and decision-making skills. This experience reinforced why I chose architecture – the thrill of seeing a concept take shape on the ground, with every brick laid and every beam installed. Have you ever been part of a site inspection or project milestone? I’d love to hear about your experiences! #Architecture #SiteVisit #DesignToReality #ArchitecturalExperience #kenARArchitects

Are you struggling to attract followers or clients despite your stunning architectural designs? As an ex-architect with six years in the field, now transitioned into content creation and social media marketing, I often see architecture pages showcasing polished renders and finished projects. Yet, many complain about not gaining followers or securing more projects. The issue isn't your designs; it's the approach. In a country where many believe contractors can replace architects, they miss out on the potential of flexible, future-proof design. To stand out, don't just show the end product. Share the journey—highlight your client's pain points and how your designs address them, ensuring relevance and utility for years to come. This approach will help people see the true value of hiring an architect. 🤌🏻

I am not doing architecture, am I? Let me share a short story. During college, a renowned architect from Chennai came to review our work, and it was finally my turn. I walked into the room, unrolled my sheets, and began explaining my project. As a designer, I had always played it safe, avoiding curves or angular walls in my designs. Why? I simply didn't like them and didn’t see a way to use them without a clear purpose. My focus was always on functional design rather than creating extravagant structures. I’ll admit, I wasn’t the best at design, but I always gave it my all. After presenting my work, I eagerly awaited his feedback. To my shock, instead of commenting on my design, he asked, "So, after completing architecture, you'll get married, right?" At the time, my friends and I laughed it off. But now, when I think back on it, I can’t help but wonder why he made such a comment. In just ten minutes, he seemed to have formed an opinion about my life and future. Why did he feel the need to comment on my personal life and career path? Was he implying that I wouldn’t continue in architecture? Really? So, what am I doing now? I’m an architectural storyteller. I write about interior design. I ghostwrite for architects. And I say that with pride. I’m still very much involved in architecture. Is practicing architecture the only way to be an architect? Some people express their ideas through sketches; I express mine through words. What about architectural photography? What about urban planning or landscape design? I may not be designing buildings, but I’m still very much a part of the architectural world. While my experience with that architect was a minor setback, it’s a reminder that there are people in this industry who hold outdated and harmful views. I’ve seen architects who make life miserable for the younger generation by using abusive language. As I always say, we all work for different reasons—money, passion, and so much more. So, to those who say I’m not a real architect, I say: The best architects don’t just design buildings; they create experiences. And mine is a unique one! Just like my grandfather used to say, "there is a place for everyone in this world" #architecture #writing #career
