Not an architect


Tim Richardson trained to be an architect at the Architectural Association in Bedford Square, London. In order to make ends meet he worked part time in architects' offices in Covent Garden. The contrast between the ideal world that the AA promoted and the reality of the architect's assistant disillusioned him, and having achieved his BA in 1986 he gave up the profession completely.
I came to the conclusion that whilst every other profession defended itself tooth and claw from interference and legislation, the architect maintained a naive belief that any new legislation was a challenge to be incorporated and that beautiful buildings would still be produced. It was obvious however that the profession was heading in the wrong direction, the architect simply becoming a cog in the process with all of the responsibility but hardly any influence.
