Abstract

T his article highlights the general lack of awareness of the design professions in the built environment – even among prospective students of architecture – and investigates opportunities to address this shortcoming, particularly through job shadowing. This, in turn, presents practitioners with an opportunity for community engagement and, in so doing, helps to demystify the architectural professions.
