Why do so many architects love their work but hate their job? The paradox is that many architects are much more skilled at designing spaces than they are at designing their careers, jobs, and organizations. Though they love to design, many architects don't know how to deal with other aspects of their profession: managing projects, budgets, supervisory skills, marketing. In this seminar participants will get help in designing their careers for maximum job satisfaction, learning, and ongoing development, and will get four building blocks essential to designing a satisfying career: 1. Personality profile instruments to help build a strong professional identity. 2. Organizational insights to assess your "fit" with employers 3. Goal-based work plans to clarify new job priorities and outcomes, and design your job for optimum learning from the outset. 4. Interview methods that provide maximum information about employers.
Dr. Ronco,(Ph.D.,'80 Course XI) consults to architecture, engineering, and real estate organizations. He directs the Boston Society Of Architects’ Young Designers Professional Development Institute.

The sketch is the most expressive drawing; it is not meant to produce anything but one’s own clarification. The sketch is a way of thinking, a way of seeing, and a way of understanding the physical world in which we operate. It is a very personal, powerful, and analytical design tool. This course is grounded on the concept of understanding through doing. It is intended as a self-inquiry to explore and develop the skills of the individual through a set of diverse sketching exercises. Each session will focus on a different phenomenon (from sound to surface), with an emphasis on the 3-dimensional sketch. Students requested to finance own materials and local travel.
