Summer Career Position:
As stated back in February, a valuable summer opportunity is to gain a summer position in an architecture firm or related employer. You may think it is too late as it is almost mid-July, but you will not know unless you try. Even if you are unable to secure a position for the remainder of the summer, contact a firm or an architect for a shadowing experience.

Regardless of your academic year in high school, research potential architecture programs for your future college choice. ARCHCareersGuide.com has a the only searchable and sortable listing of Architecture Programs. For each listing, contact information, website and degrees offered is provided.

Sketch / Draw:
Depending on your personal experience, take time each day to sketch / draw. At first, draw your surroundings – shoe, lamp, etc. Draw what you see. From there, you can start to draw buildings / architecture. As you continue, you can draw what you cannot see – your ideas. One resource to help you in this journey of sketching is the following:

Read / Visit Architecture:
Finally, a great way to pass the rest of the summer is to read / visit architecture. Either from your local public library or from Amazon, obtain a book on architecture and read. Typically, the best part is that most books on architecture have images. As well, walk your neighborhood and SEE architecture. While it would great to visit true architecture in your locale or region, you can visit your own living dwelling or block.
