The book examines why almost 40% of European architecture graduates don’t choose to work as architects, maps the sectors to which they migrate, and defines their impact within these sectors.
Its findings have significant implications for understanding and facilitating the cross-sectoral mobility of graduates from all disciplines – not just architecture. Architecture’s Afterlife also provides a roadmap for increasing graduate employment, addressing skills shortages across all sectors, and adapting curricula to rapidly changing professional landscapes in the face of climate change and societal upheaval.
