The job
Architects work in Philadelphia
Philadelphia has a deep bench of architecture practices. The city is full of small firms, sole practitioners and studios of a few people, and many of them sit within a short walk of each other in Center City and Old City. That means the searches for architects here are spread across a lot of firms rather than held by a handful of large names. The demand comes from rowhouse owners in South Philadelphia and Fishtown, from developers working on infill lots, and from institutions and nonprofits that need design work. Most of the practices competing for that demand are owner led studios, not franchises, so the search results are shaped by small firms with their own websites. That is the demand available in this city, and it is steady rather than seasonal.
