Last week we were able to host students from all over the Midwest and take a trip down memory lane in @corecity.detroit ! The theme this year for the @chronologydetroit AIAS Midwest Conference was Past, Present, and Future of Detroits architectural timeline. These projects are a testament to how Detroit has persevered and continues to reinvent how we design for the future. 🤩Thank you @aiasltu @aiasudm for the opportunity to share work that has so much meaning to us!

🚀 COLLEGE SERIES SESSION 02 // WHAT ELSE CAN ARCHITECTS DO?

There are more ways to use an architecture degree than you might think.

For College Series 2026: From Degree to Career: Paths & Possibilities, our second panel looks at what happens when architects take their skills into other industries — including technology, building science consulting, construction, and real estate.

We’ll explore:
 → What does “being an architect” actually mean? → What career paths exist beyond the traditional firm? → What skills from architecture translate to other industries? → Where else can an architecture education take you?

This conversation brings together professionals who have built careers beyond the conventional architecture role and offers a closer look at the possibilities students may not have considered yet.

📍 AIA Austin Office | 801 W. 12th St. 🗓️ Saturday, October 10, 2026 ⏰ 10:00–1:00 CT

An architecture degree is a starting point for more career paths than you might expect.

🔗 Free to attend. Register via the link in bio.

WiA Members: please join us for a networking lunch, giving students the opportunity to connect with architects and professionals across the industry, ask questions, and begin building relationships as they navigate their own paths from degree to career.

🏢 COLLEGE SERIES SESSION 01 // THE ANATOMY OF AN ARCHITECTURE FIRM

What actually makes up an architecture firm?

For College Series 2026: From Degree to Career: Paths & Possibilities, our first panel brings together perspectives from across the profession — from small studios to mid-size regional firms, large global practices, and design-build.

We’ll break down how firms are structured, how roles and responsibilities change across different practice models, and what it can actually look like to work at a firm of different sizes and scales.

We’ll talk about:
 → Small studio vs. mid-size practice vs. large/global firm → How firms are organized by project type, location, and scale → Centralized vs. distributed offices → And what all of that means for the people working there

This conversation is a chance to look behind the scenes at the many ways an architecture firm can operate.

📍 AIA Austin Office | 801 W. 12th St. 🗓️ Saturday, October 10, 2026 ⏰ 10:00–1:00 CT

If you’re wondering what kind of practice might be right for you, start by understanding how they work.
