“Milan is an exciting place for young architects, full of energy and opportunity. With its strong design culture, focus on sustainability and constant urban transformation, the city naturally draws creative minds from around the world. There is a lot happening – from green infrastructure and public space regeneration to climate-responsive design, opening doors for those who think ahead.
Of course, it’s not without its challenges – competition is tough, language can be a hurdle and getting hands-on experience takes time. But for designers who are curious, committed and ready to learn, Milan offers a rich and inspiring space to build a meaningful career.”

“As the second largest city in Indonesia, Surabaya certainly has many opportunities to learn and grow, especially in the architecture field. However, this is also a challenge due to the very competitive job market and preferences that prioritize professionalism.
As new graduates, of course, they must be able to equip themselves with qualified abilities such as special skills and the application of knowledge that has been obtained during college.”

“Fresh architecture graduates in Kathmandu face both opportunities and challenges alike. The growing urban development and increasing demand for skilled designers offer promising prospects, especially in areas like housing, urban planning and heritage conservation.
However, they often struggle with limited practical experience, low starting salaries and high competition. Building a strong portfolio, gaining hands-on experience through internships and staying updated with design tools can help overcome these challenges.”
