What is a typical day in the life of an architect like? We decided to tackle that question in honor of Architecture Week 2014, and this is the result: a crowd sourced video featuring over 50 architects and intern architects from 12 nations around the world!
As you can see, the sun never sets on architecture. If you are an architect, does this look like your day? If you aren't an architect, does this look like what you imagined an architect's day to be like? Leave your answer in the comments below!
#Architecture Week is a celebration of architecture and architects sponsored by the American Institute of Architects which coincides with the birthday of the United States' first president/architect, Thomas Jefferson. Architecture week in 2014 runs from April 6-12.
Thanks to all of our contributors!

Thanks for the video Enoch and contributers and nice to know we are all very similar in our daily work lives. I too have commuted by bicycle but also by car and train. Walked or biked in the country at lunch and sat at many meetings during lunch. Architect in Southern California.
Nice job on the video. As a non-architect looking in this isn’t what I had imagined a day for an architect could be like. Pretty awesome.
Turned out great! Lots of fun! Thanks for including!
Wow! That was fun, and really showed what we do!
