Ah, clients. Sadly, we can't all be paper architects, dreaming up improbable futures (and even the members of Archigram eventually settled down to found studios that actually build stuff). As a result, we're forced to work with people who often think that just because they're paying for our services, they own us like slaves. They come in many different varieties, from the client that thinks that everything is an emergency to the client that obsesses over the design budget. The following infographic produced by "startup studio and accelerator" Coplex will help you diagnose your own clients — and more importantly, offers some tips on how best to deal with them to make your life easier.

Lots of young architects want to start their own firm. A lot of architecture students expect that one day they'll have their own projects built under their own names, created from their own designs. Most of the time these dreams flounder on the rocks of ignorance because no part of architecture training is centered around helping designers find their own clients.

Architecture geeks rejoice. Indie director Kogonada’s new movie, “Columbus,” is a celebration of Midcentury modernist design with a gently unfolding story of family and themes of responsibility thrown in for good measure.
A master class in architectural style with an emphasis on brutalism and international Modernist design, the film headlines actors John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson, but it is the work of Midcentury architectural rock stars that steals the show.

Seniority is infamously important in the field of architecture. Despite occasionally being on the butt end of wage jokes, the field can actually pay relatively well — assuming that you’ve been working for a couple of decades. Even Bjarke Ingels, the tech-savvy, video-producing, Netflix-documentary-starring provocateur and founder of the ultra-contemporary BIG isn’t a millennial; at 42 the Dane is a full nine years older than Mark Zuckerberg.

Architects should be more proactive in driving forward development proposals, says architect Elizabeth Diller in this exclusive video interview Dezeen filmed at the RIBA International Conference in London.
Liz Diller, a co-founder of New York architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, said that architects shouldn't wait around for clients to bring them projects – and should instead be pushing forward ideas of their own.

 As any visitor to the former Soviet Union will notice, every city touched by the Soviet authorities has an unmistakable flavor. The Soviets did not seek to incrementally change cities but to entirely reinvent them, making for dramatic transformations. The period of wild, laissez faire urbanism that followed independence in the 1990s injected chaos into the Soviet blueprint, leaving a further layer of challenges for planners today.

The archetypal flat roof, even today, is largely associated with the mid-century modern aesthetic. From the outset, a building is deemed elementally minimalist based on its elongated form and perfectly linear roof. Architects are still attracted to the elegance that flat roofs bring to a piece of architecture, and for good reason. Set a mini McMansion-like suburban home and its steeply pitched roof against a low-lying, glass-clad modernist masterpiece and most design enthusiasts — architects and non-architects alike — would agree that the latter is a purer architectural form.
