Experience is a hot topic these days. But, how much weight needs to be placed on experience? One school, Hard Knocks U, believes there is no better education. The other side, Theoretical College, believes that proper training can prepare you for anything. The truth, as most of us know, lies in the middle.
But, then the question becomes: How much experience is necessary?
In architecture, experience is often a requisite for clients on new projects. Have you done this type of thing before? The reason being, that you’ve learned the lessons and can avoid potential costly pitfalls. However, in archtiecture, a building is just a box with walls and a roof. The experience comes in handy in the planning…the layout, the concept. We are trained in the execution of that plan: steel is steel, bricks are bricks, concrete is concrete.
So…in the Red vs Blue contest underway, questions will be raised about how much experience someone has. My question is: can you execute?
Perhaps that’s why its called being an EXECUTIVE.
