Narratives of Architectural Education provides an overview of life as an architecture student, detailing how a layperson may develop an architectural identity. This book proposes becoming an architect as a personal narrative of professional development structured around various stages and challenges associated with identity transformation.



Using a case study of aspiring architects along multiple time points of their professional education, Thompson investigates the occupational identity of architects; how individuals construct a sense of themselves as future architects and position themselves within the architectural community.



This book provides previously unexamined insights into not just the academic development of an architect, but also the holistic and experiential aspects of architectural education. It would be ideal for those in the educational field of architecture, to include students, educators, interns, and mentors.

Industry Reviews

"James Thompson reveals the psychological complexities of becoming an architect through a series of narratives from individuals who have gone through an architectural education and entered the profession of architecture - or not. The combination of rigorous research methods and engaging personal stories makes this an unusual and appealing book, and I would recommend it to anyone applying to architecture school, enduring an architectural education, or entering the architectural profession."
