Architectural education: a progression inquiry (North America)

A study examining the professional progression of architecture graduates.

The reason you are receiving this questionnaire is because you studied architecture at a university or another higher education institution in Europe or North America. You are invited to respond when:
(a) you are practicing as an architect (whether currently in employment or not)
(b) you are working in the field of architecture or related fields, such as in urban planning or the construction industry (e.g. non-registered architects/architecture assistants, educators, landscape designers, interior designers, local authority planners, project managers, quantity surveyors, developers, contractors, consultants) etc.
or,
(c) you have left architecture and/or the related fields altogether and are working in a completely different field or profession.

There is no age restriction on respondents: the only criteria for participating is that you studied at a European or North American school of architecture even if you are originally from outside these two regions, and/or are now based elsewhere in the world.

The questionnaire should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

The responses will be anonymised. However, if you would like to contribute to the larger, more detailed study please add your contact details at the end of this questionnaire. Please share this questionnaire with other people you studied architecture with.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact Dr Harriet Harriss at the Royal College of Art in London: harriet.harriss@rca.ac.uk
