You’ve started on the journey to becoming an architect , what road will you choose from here and how will you keep on track?
Rachel, Bethany, Amanda, Adonai, Basma, Naomi and Cindy are the brains behind 1:100 Architecture Podcast, and after completing their degrees in Architecture they started their podcast! It wasn’t what they thought they would be doing after graduation, but the unique timing of finishing RIBA Part 1s just before the pandemic meant that their plans of finding a place in industry were derailed. The reality is that the pandemic economy has been incredibly tough for recent graduates, so answering the question “what next?” can be particularly challenging.
So tune in to hear them chat through with host Lisa Raynes their architecture stories to date and their future ambitions. It may help you start to answer questions like: What can you do with your architecture degree? How do you find your professional self? How can you keep your architecture dream alive during the long process of qualification? Pride Road Franchise grew out of Founder Lisa Raynes’ refusal to accept that there was only one way for a woman to have an architecture career and a family life. Pride Road is building its network of franchisees across the UK with the aim of providing rewarding careers for ambitious architects who can’t find the right role for them and in opening their own business want to retain the support of team.
A key element of Pride Road business model is to ensure that each Franchisee has the coaching support to help smooth out the business bumps along the way. Lisa is passionate about supporting young architects – whatever their route into the profession – to rise to their potential. 1:100 Architecture Podcast are Rachel Aquino, Bethany Stewart, Amanda Selormey, Adonai Boamah-Nyamekye, Basma El Boussaki, Naomi Eningo-Moreno and Cindy Appiah-Kubi Laryea. Their mission is to give people just like them the confidence to thrive with originality, creativity and innovation.
