I’ve struggled for a long time and still do at times with lacking confidence as an architect, even after being assigned large projects and getting my license and being put in charge of teams. The nagging lack of confidence persisted despite other people’s confidence in me. Over time I’ve found that confidence doesn’t come from being perfect and knowing everything, but from a deep reserve within that we can draw on when things get tough.

This huge responsibility along with the tremendous breadth and ever changing amount of technical knowledge that is required to be an architect and an education that conditions people to think that they are failures if they do not become starchitects often leads to confidence issues in architects, especially…<a href="https://bloomingrock.com/2015/12/27/how-to-build-confidence-as-an-architect-part-ii/"></a></p> 303</div> 304 305 <a class="button" title="Continue reading" href="https://bloomingrock.com/2015/12/27/how-to-build-confidence-as-an-architect-part-ii/"><span class="text">Continue reading</span></a> 306 307 </article> 308 309 310 <article class="post-7470 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-architecture category-equity-2 tag-architects tag-design tag-building-confidence tag-equity-by-design tag-rosa-sheng" id="post-7470"> 311 312 <div class="photo"><img src="http://bloomingrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Taz-Toon1.jpg" /> 313 314 <div class="titlecontainer"> 315 <p class="meta">December 19, 2015</p> 316 <h1><a href="https://bloomingrock.com/2015/12/19/how-to-build-confidence-as-an-architect-part-i/">How to Build Confidence as an Architect, Part I</a></h1> 317 <p class="author">by: Taz Loomans</p> 318 </div> 319 320 </div> 321 322 <div class="post"><p>
322Tweet Some years ago I designed a stair for an office building that was too narrow. It was supposed to be a minimum of 48 inches wide, but I designed it to be 36 inches wide. No one caught it, not my supervisor, not the firm’s quality assurance team, and not even the contractor until he had already ordered the steel, which was the wrong size. My firm had to pay for new steel for the correct size stair. I was so ashamed and this hurt my confidence so much, that it was part of the reason I left architecture…<a href="https://bloomingrock.com/2015/12/19/how-to-build-confidence-as-an-architect-part-i/"></a></p> 323</div> 324 325 <a class="button" title="Continue reading" href="https://bloomingrock.com/2015/12/19/how-to-build-confidence-as-an-architect-part-i/"><span class="text">Continue reading</span></a> 326 327 </article> 328 329 330 <article class="post-7458 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-architecture category-equity-2 category-urban-development" id="post-7458"> 331 332 <div class="photo"><img src="http://bloomingrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Tiny_House_Giant_Journey_edited1.jpg" /> 333 334 <div class="titlecontainer"> 335 <p class="meta">November 05, 2015</p> 336 <h1><a href="https://bloomingrock.com/2015/11/05/its-illegal-to-live-in-tiny-homes-on-wheels-but-why/">It’s Illegal to Live in Tiny Homes on Wheels.

That’s because living in a tiny house on wheels (THOW) is illegal in most of Portland, unless it is parked on an RV lot. It is perfectly legal to park tiny houses on wheels in a lot of places, including someone’s back yard. But living there is a whole other story.
