Architecture practice extends much beyond just creative spatial solutions. As an architect progresses in professional practice over the years, designing occupies only fraction of work agenda. Young architects are unaware of the practical challenges that come into play before design even commences and those snags that erupt post-completion and handover. Commonly, the lack of knowledge is about on-going market rates, tentative project cost or consultation fees for the project. Even if they manage to acquire a job, they are unaware of professional liabilities and legal implications of their appointment. These roles and responsibilities of an architect are often not adequately addressed in academic curriculum.
The curriculum mandate of architectural internship offers students their first glimpse into the practice; but the exposure is limited to the tasks handed to them. Owing to their limited skills, interns mostly work on presentations, 3D modelling, drawing corrections etc. If they are lucky; concepts of small projects, an occasional site visit and perhaps; some interactions with consultant and/or client. Professional firms do benefit from the interns and some firms do undertake sincere effort to involve them in projects during their internship. Yet, due to the limitation of skills and time, interns are unable to comprehend the complexities of architecture as a business.
