Mike Riscica

As architects, we’re always growing. We learn from our own experiences as well as from others because, honestly, no one can get there alone. We’re constantly in connection with each other, whether it’s in school, in the job field or online.

This week, Doug Patt of the “How to Architect” website and much-loved YouTube channel shares his personal career experiences, what he’s learned from his mentors, his love for architecture and his excitement for what’s next in his life.

Doug is also the creator of The Architect’s Academy, which offers online classes to anyone who wishes to learn more about architecture. His teaching has been so successful and inspiring that people who weren’t even architects before have now gone on to begin their own careers in the field. If you want to have a good source on hand, Doug also wrote the book How to Architect.
