Often times I wonder whether blogging is really for architects, is it gonna work out trying to construct a thousand words rather than a building structure, trying to build audience rather than a client _ oh no! This is going to be be hectic for architects to deal with _ but is it really so?
This is the truth...
Having a blog is a great and vital part of architectural career and yes you need to get involved if you really wanna make it big. Let me ask you a question, what if famous architects like Le Corbusier and others had blogs? Their articles full of their legit and unique works and ideas may still be working some wonders now _ but that's not the point, blogging helps architect to achieve the following :
- Do more research
- Capture Future client
- broadcast themselves
- become better
- earn extras
- help others
- be their own boss
- keep going, etc...
There is much more to add to the list above... There are far much benefits that can really be exhausted by anyone, to each person, there is a unique value and that it!
What about architectural students
Hmm.. this is the category I fell in, it is really rewarding to startup a blog as an architecture student. Blogging gets you exposed, help you to get more advanced and learn more, it may seem hard but one you set your goal and let it fit with studies, it will be fun.
But to we students, resources/facilities are barriers, just like in my side, but it truth is, 'if you ever have an opportunity, start blogging.'
