Outside of the Design Studio

When Scarpa went to school, there was the perception that the person who was successful in the design studio was the person who would be successful as an architect. As the profession of architecture has evolved in the past twenty years, its complexity requires many areas of expertise. Scarpa advocates pursuing one's interests within architecture., from construction technology to real estate. Architecture needs a paradigm shift to allow people who aren't great designers to pursue other areas in the field.
