You’re an architect who wants to improve your design skills. What are some ways to get feedback?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

As an architect, you know that design is not a static process, but a dynamic one that requires constant learning, experimentation, and feedback. Feedback is essential for improving your design skills, as it helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses, discover new perspectives and ideas, and refine your solutions and proposals. However, getting feedback can be challenging, especially if you don't have a supportive network of peers, mentors, or clients. In this article, we'll share some ways to get feedback that can help you grow as an architect and create better designs.

1 Ask for feedback

One of the simplest ways to get feedback is to ask for it. You can ask for feedback from different sources, such as your colleagues, supervisors, clients, users, or experts. Depending on your project and goals, you can ask for feedback at different stages of your design process, such as during sketches, models, drawings, or presentations. You can also ask for different types of feedback, such as constructive, positive, or negative, depending on what you want to learn and improve. However, when you ask for feedback, make sure you are clear about what you are looking for, how you want to receive it, and how you will use it.

A common evaluation strategy is to seek feedback after completing a project to document a client's level of satisfaction, which can be conducted in a project completion meeting. However, clients are not the only source of feedback. Colleagues for instance, when confronted with a feedback request, will provide non-biased feedback that you will benefit from greatly.

the best feedback you can get is from the user or the potential user of that design, other's feedback doesn't matter. Design is a tailored service, and your feedback should come from the one who is going to use it, not anyone.

2 Seek feedback

Another way to get feedback is to seek it actively. You can seek feedback by participating in online or offline platforms, such as forums, blogs, social media, podcasts, or magazines, where you can share your work and get comments and reactions from other architects or interested parties. You can also seek feedback by joining or creating communities of practice, such as groups, clubs, or networks, where you can exchange ideas and experiences with other architects who share your interests or challenges. You can also seek feedback by entering or attending competitions, exhibitions, or events, where you can showcase your work and get feedback from judges, peers, or audiences.

be aware of the feedback from your peers, they are the worst to give you any type of feedback. Seek what normal people, clients and users would say about your design, no one else.

3 Give feedback

A third way to get feedback is to give it. Giving feedback to others can help you get feedback in return, as it creates a culture of reciprocity and trust. Giving feedback can also help you improve your own design skills, as it forces you to analyze and evaluate other people's work, which can sharpen your critical thinking and creativity. Giving feedback can also help you expand your network and knowledge, as it exposes you to different styles, approaches, and solutions. When you give feedback, make sure you are respectful, honest, and specific, and that you focus on the work, not the person.

If you can't put yourself in the shoes of the user, don't give any feedback and stay silent, It's cheaper for you and the reader. When giving feedback, make it specific, and try to give context to why you see it in that way.

4 Analyze feedback

A fourth way to get feedback is to analyze it. Analyzing feedback means interpreting and applying the information and suggestions you receive from others. Analyzing feedback can help you improve your design skills, as it enables you to identify patterns, gaps, and opportunities in your work, and to make informed decisions and changes. Analyzing feedback can also help you develop your self-awareness and confidence, as it allows you to recognize your achievements and areas of improvement. When you analyze feedback, make sure you are open-minded, objective, and reflective, and that you consider the source, context, and purpose of the feedback.

When receiving feedback, analyze the given information by creating a list. The list can be tailored to your own objectives, whether it's to improve your design style, focus on a specific area of design, or incorporate new design strategies to evaluate the quality of your design. In the list, you may divide, section, and organize feedback based on improvement criteria. These criteria may include severity, ability, and economy. For example, when the feedback is discussing homogenizing flued facade designs in your project, you must review how critical not adding it to your deigns, is the technology available in the market, and how expensive is it to incorporate the technology in your design.

5 Generate feedback

A fifth way to get feedback is to generate it. Generating feedback means creating and using tools and methods that can help you evaluate and improve your own work. Generating feedback can help you improve your design skills, as it empowers you to be self-reliant, proactive, and innovative. Generating feedback can also help you enhance your design quality and efficiency, as it enables you to test and validate your ideas and solutions. Some examples of tools and methods that can help you generate feedback are checklists, surveys, mockups, prototypes, or simulations.

6 Learn from feedback

A sixth way to get feedback is to learn from it. Learning from feedback means incorporating and integrating the feedback you get into your design process and practice. Learning from feedback can help you improve your design skills, as it fosters your growth mindset, curiosity, and adaptability. Learning from feedback can also help you achieve your design goals and vision, as it supports your continuous improvement and development. To learn from feedback, you need to be willing to experiment, iterate, and revise your work, and to seek and apply new knowledge and skills.
