Architects ought to be humble, Kengo Kuma says

In a recent video interview, acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma expresses some truly interesting thoughts about architecture and the role of architects in today’s world.

Among them, he talks about modesty, a quality arguably quite rare in most architectural offices. In Kuma’s vision, for architects, humbleness originates from working slowly and methodically, moving step by step, without haste, from small, relatively modest projects towards larger, more ambitious ones.

I work with architects very often and the 1st tip I was told is this: "If you have something an architect wants at the moment they will be your best friend, if you don't they will be arrogant and ignore you with their superior minded condescending attitudes which most have."

That's a very condescending thing to say about architects.

I agree it was a condescending thing to say. I have found most to be very friendly and courteous with me. And yes I am. I am just asking for honest feedback from architects so I can avoid doing anything that is annoying or unprofessional.

"so I can avoid doing anything that is annoying or unprofessional." You could quit your job, that would help ;)

The work should be modest, too.
