Forbes
From April 3:
Architecture is a career that captivates the minds of many people, including George Costanza of "Seinfeld," who says he's always wanted to pretend to be an architect. In terms of income, architects do fairly well. As of 2017, the average income of architects has reached $88,860, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Employment Statistics. But you won't earn that salary anywhere in the U.S. just because you've got architectural credentials.

From June 5:
Bob and Barbara Hillier, co-founders and principals of Studio Hillier — a leading architecture firm based out of Princeton — are encouraging architects to secure the appropriate financial compensation over time for their contributions to a development. The progressive statement was made during the renaming ceremony of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture and Design, now named The J. Robert and Barbara A. Hillier School of Architecture and Design, in reflection of the Hillier’s donation, the largest in University history.

From Aug. 21:
Some architectural designs don't always go exactly according to plan, and Twitter users are coming together to point out some of the most hilarious architectural failures in their neighborhoods.
It all started when Sarah Schauer of California asked her Twitter followers to "reply with the worst design/architecture picture you have." In response, the Tweet was flooded with hysterical pictures of design fails. Most responses highlighted terribly designed bathrooms.

From Dec. 4: As an architect, you want to spend your time designing, creating, and innovating. But as a firm principal, you need to make sure you have a healthy cash flow to pay for those projects and support your passions. Manage your cash flow well, and you can stay in business, even when you’re not operating at a profit.

From Sept. 4:
Office space used to be the boss of us, corralling us into cubicles, corner offices or conference rooms.
But we’re in charge now, and we want space that bends and flows with the way we actually work, which changes depending on how much privacy, connection or inspiration we need.

From April 17:
Two skyscrapers entered America's top 10 within the past year, but they're small fries among the world's tallest.
New York City's 30 Hudson Yards (1,268 feet) opened a few weeks ago. Late in 2018, the Comcast Technology Center (1,121 feet) opened in Philadelphia. Both have redefined their skylines, yet they wouldn't even rise halfway up the Burj Khalifa (2,717 feet) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

From May 2: Daryl Johnson has carried the same leather bound sketch pad with him since 1984.
The founder of Johnson Architecture has hand drafted every project he's designed, rejecting more than minimal technology in his creative process.
He's one of few holdouts in architecture. And he'll go to his grave that way. “Some of the things that the younger architects, and really some of the not-so-young architects, can do on the computer just absolutely amaze me," Johnson said. "But it’s not what I do."

From June 5:
Modern architecture doesn’t typically age well, and that’s not a knock against material or craftsmanship. It’s more about how it fits into, or quickly exits, the cultural conversation. Shifting trends can push projects out of the limelight, and in the case of important buildings of the late 20th century, out of the eye of the public and preservationists.
