| ^Agree. In terms of getting clients, etc., however, you would typically need to have a more significant experience there than just a couple of years doing 3D renderings. It is true that many if not most of the "hot" young firms were started by talented architects who left Starchitect (or at least very reputable) offices after 5-10 years of working there as mid/senior level designers and after realizing that it would take another 10-20 years before they could ever move up in the organization. Sometimes a Starchitect will give one of his "spin off" firms their first project, just to be nice. |
