在回忆过去的事情,马塞尔·普鲁斯特写道,“我们不提供智慧,我们必须发现它自己,在旷野之旅,没有人可以为我们……”This sentiment handily applies to the unlikely and sometimes circuitous paths many architects and interior designers take toward achieving success in the design industry. Naturally, a love for visual beauty is a prerequisite, and while many have faced similar obstacles and accomplishments along the way—from getting their foot in the door to striking out on their own to getting published—no two trajectories are alike. We talked to five designers with very different stories about how they got their start. Here, they share everything from the details behind their unexpected beginnings to the career advice they wish they had received themselves.

“我总是喜欢设计。作为一个在纽约长大的孩子,我花了几个小时画透视图的建筑灵感来自杠杆房子和施格兰的建筑,而不是远离我们的家园。我画的房子计划,仔细研究了图纸我父亲会带回家从他会议在纽约市的设计审查机构、艺术委员会(现在公共设计委员会)。在上大学之前,我曾在纽约标志性建筑保护委员会实习和史密森学会。我花了一年时间在巴黎通过d 'Architecture研究所起草并在Academie de la Grande Chaumie118高手论坛re徒手画。困难的部分是鲍勃·斯特恩在哥伦比亚学院本科建筑工作室。118高手论坛这是课程开阔了我的眼界,让建筑和改变了我的生活的可能性;118高手论坛我在船尾,然后我的教授,在我去年的大学和研究生院前一年。我的第一个任务让我在威尼斯双年展上的团队合作架构部分和一个关于美国后现代主义者在奥地利的设计展。118高手论坛这是一个强烈的和不可替代的经验。 Later, a friend at graduate school asked me to help design Isabella Rossellini’s duplex loft in Tribeca. That was a lucky stroke. I am thrilled to have architects and clients I admire appreciate our work, but I still feel lucky to get each assignment that comes our way. I am continually learning by designing, traveling, reading, and teaching. I am always surprised by how history provides such an endless source of inspiration and surprises.”
