After a couple months of job search, about 20 rejections and 5 invitations, I&nbsp;<strong>started working as an urban designer<\/strong>&nbsp;in central London. That&#8217;s how I&#8217;ve been working for two years now, on big projects and with cool clients \ud83d\udc69\ud83c\udffb\u200d\ud83d\udcbb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>People with a lot of work experience<\/strong>\u00a0studying with me on my masters, while I was only with\u00a0<strong>internship experience<\/strong>. I think a lot of people face this situation when moving abroad&#8230; After some panic, I decided to take advantage of all the resources available to me for my\u00a0<strong>growth as a professional<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">And since the beginning of my master&#8217;s program, I have been collecting a\u00a0<strong>useful &#8220;pack&#8221; of different resources<\/strong>\u00a0that have helped me and are helping me with my projects, my studies, and my work. I have found these resources through social media, but mostly I have been helped by more experienced architect friends. Among them: architects from Zara Hadid, Arrows and Fosters Partners, students from Bartlett UCL, AASchool and Politechnico di Milano. So\u00a0<strong>all the resources are selected very carefully by professionals<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shall we get started?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2\u00b0 Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a collection of links that I have been using for over three years now. Checked by me personally \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>So, uncover and save!<\/summary>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Podcasts<\/strong>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the Sandbox is a favorite of mine. The podcast is an exploration about the future of cities. The topics are mostly experimental and provocative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Going to the City &#8211; podcast about urbanism, development of cities and life in them. No new episodes, but about 50 podcasts have been recorded. Touching on topics such as marketing or industry in cities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wider Check &#8211; I just personally think architects need to understand the field of marketing. We need to promote our work, right? Every episode is an insight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A City for You &#8211; each episode is about a new city and how people feel in it using examples from guest speakers. For example, a girl lives in Berlin and talks about how she goes to events or home and what she dislikes about her neighborhood and the city in general. The podcast has a cool approach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The House That Code Built &#8211; a tandem of an artificial intelligence named Cedric and a practicing architect! About neural networks and algorithms to build buildings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>YouTube channels<\/strong>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LearnUpstairs\">Upstairs<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; breakdowns of portfolios and pitches to help you understand common mistakes. Honestly, the best ones. Also happens in podcast\/interview form, which is really cool to listen to. 10 minute tutorials and various post-processing, maps, and rendering workflow best practices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ShowItBetter\">ShowItBetter<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; The best tutorials on InDesign and Photoshop.
