I work in Local Government for the Architects Division.
The majority of our work is in education but with the Council owning so many different types of buildings in the City we can work on some very interesting stuff.
The good thing is I am the only person who carries out the 3d models, so I am usually always busy, but happy!Dylan

I work in a small architectural department of a large company producing many kinds of services to facility owners.
Our department is specialized to renovation and conservation work, but currently we are engaged in many other kinds of projects as well. We rarely do housing.

I came from a totally different background.
I was a successful record producer/engineer throughout the 60s, 70, and into 80s, I build my own studios ( yes physically with hammer and nails) and studied acoustics in my spare time through various libraries. I then moved into TV sound production and built my own post production studios.
After a break heading a TV and Sound Production course at a university I wrote and illustrated "how to build a recording studio" and posted it on the web in 1998 for free. I sold it to the School of Audio Engineering (SAE - the largest audio school in the world) in 2001 and it is still available for free. http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html
In 2003 I established a forum on studio design that now has over 7000 members and ticks up 90 - 100K hits per day.
I now operate an international online studio design business. I don't ever claim to be an architect or an acoustician - I'm a designer.
Just me and my computer, sketchup and skype, overlooking a paddock of happy bulls and cows - yup there's 3 bulls in there.
cheers

I am an Architectural Illustrator. I also aid clients in conceptual design. I work in residential and commercial markets. My clients range from Architects/Designers, Builder/Developers, Real Estate Agents, and Mom and Pops remodels/additions (these are my least fav).
I typically take a project all the way to a finished rendering.
PS... beautiful work Alan!

Im just on placement for the summer, but its been good experience and helps a lot with uni work, the place that i work at specialises in listed building works and schools with the odd bit of residential (pendant on age) hopefully i can get into more standard residential architecture and detailing as this will most likely be the outcome for me

We've worked on industrial, corporate, retail, institutional/educational, and some residential architecture. We also do quite a bit of historic preservation/restoration work. Most recently, I've just completed renovations to a fraternity house, have another under construction, and am working on renovations to a dormitory and restoration work to an 1852 courthouse and a 1920's theatre.
Our very outdated website is at http://www.sparkmanarchitect.com

The company I work for designs, builds & maintains tradeshow and museum exhibits. A good portion of our staff are from live theatre, television and film backgrounds. I am the senior designer and head the production department of design, project menegement, graphics & estimates. We also arrange all the shipping, labor at show sites and just plain logistics of getting an exhibit to the tradeshow and back again, nationally & internationally.

I'm a one man shop and I like it that way. At this time, I'm working on house for some great clients. This is actually my second project with them. And I have a addition/remodel in the "wings".
In past decades, I have specialized in auto dealerships, but haven't done one in a while now.
Who among us would trade what we do for a living?

I was a furniture designer in Local Government until about 30 years ago & then I came to the North West of Scotland to start a Hostel for Mountaineers. Great life but unfortunately not enough money & so as there was no call for furniture designers up here I turned my hand to architectural work. Mainly extensions & renovations of the old croft houses but an occasional house as well. I now seem to spend more time in my office than I did when I was in local government!!!

"Anything for a buck!"
(Except toilets, I won't do toilets anymore :`)
Seriously, I'm a contract "architectural technician" with too manyyears experience doing just about anything needs doing...since most puzzles are as interesting as the next and they all pay the same (hourly rate).
I'm with Tom, except I will do toilet rooms IF necessary..haha...
I pretty much do anything and everything, but try to stay with modelling and rendering.. but will do design, CD's, teach, whatever I have to do to keep it interesting

We have a small firm that has specialized in churches in Western Canada for over 30 years. The firm has done over 300 and I have been involved with over 50 since I joined here in '88. We do other things, but our bread and butter is working with large committees of inexperienced people on a tight budget and bringing them successfully through a complicated and expensive process to a product that they will use and love for a generation.
We meet a lot of nice people.

After being a partner in an architect-firm I started seven years ago on my own, as an architect/consultant; designing and realisating mostly leisure projects of all kind and size in most countries of Europe.
All kinds of projects,large and small, in- and exterior, mostly the conceptual phases, architectural designs, presentations etc.
Because I am a one-man consultant/architect company ,I have to be able to do every aspect of my work by myself and SU helps a lot.
