As the world continually evolves, the architectural industry witnesses its fair share of shifts and challenges. Today, the architectural landscape is being reshaped by a unique combination of factors: the retirement of the baby boomer generation and the career choices of the emerging Gen Z.

The Generational Gap in Architecture

Baby boomers, who have been a dominant force in the architectural industry, are stepping into retirement. Their vast experience and decades of expertise are departing with them, creating a noticeable void. Concurrently, as Gen Z graduates from colleges, many are choosing to pursue diverse and alternative career paths. The digital revolution, a focus on sustainable professions, and the allure of start-up culture have made traditional professions like architecture less predominant for this group.

Caught in the middle are the millennials. Already dubbed the “burnout generation,” they find themselves stretched thin, trying to fill the widening gap, meet increasing demands, and cope with the pressures of a fast-paced architectural world. Their plates are overflowing with responsibilities, tight schedules, and the expectation of delivering nothing less than perfection.
