Hi Andrew,
I know architects are difficult to work for as well, because I'm one myself and
I also always want the very best for the cheapest price, if possible. I'm not
only trying to envisage architects to make renderings for, but I'll think I'll
have to start with them, as I know a lot of them. By the way which other
sectors or people you work for, it might be interesting to know maybe it might
give me some ideas. I was thinking to try to get in the immobilien sector here,
I have a few contacts, and some might be interested. The most difficult thing
remains to get started.
But I will not be able to do this as my sole profession, as my architectural
bureau has work left know for at least 10 years to come, so I would be a fool
to let this drop away. But as not many people overhere have the scills to work
with 3Dstudio, I'll like to use my knowledge to have some extra income.
By the way it is Belgium, Europe, capital Brussels. We are the only country in
Europe where the profession of an architect is so well protected. But we have
been under attack for the past years, mostly from building companies (who only
build houses) who think we are an obstacle to their profits. But we did strike
back, now they even need 2 architects, one working for them and one working for
their client unattached to their firm. The advantage is that be for plans can
be submitted to the city council they have to accompanied by form from the
order of architects which can see if the architect drawing those plans is
inscribed, otherwise he can not submit any plans.
