Hi All,

Architecture as a business seems to have some serious problems within
it's existence in the universe.

Architects all over the world seem to
Complain about the lack of money in their line
The lack of a proper business structure (marketing by word of mouth)

Architects also work hard and face extremely challenging working
conditions with clients changing their minds too often, surprise
elements on site and tight deadlines.

Architects also lead highly stressed lives that lead to alcoholism,
drug abuse and high divorce rates.

I would like to form a forum of free lance and employed architects to
meet and deal with these challenges with the goal of fixing them with a
scientific approach to business development, lead generation, order
possessing, client negotiation and timely delivery without killing the
architect.

My name is Arul Baliah. I live in Bangalore Vivek Nagar. I work for
Microsoft in Evangelizing Business Enhancement and Partner Relations

I wanted to change tracks on my career to become an architect but I
thought this might be a better way to be a blessing to the
architects' community.

Please mail me at ta.fxkz@gmail.com if you are interested in joining me
or networking with me in this venture.

Regards,

Arul

ARCHITECTURE is a cruel and shallow profession
A long dark hallway where misfits and radicals run free, and gifted
architects die like dogs
..........but then there's also a negative side
