A Junior Design Architect typically supports the design team by handling fundamental tasks that

contribute to the development of architectural projects.

1. Design Support

• Concept Assistance: Help develop early design ideas through sketches, diagrams, and mood

boards.

2. Drafting and Documentation

• CAD Drawings: Prepare floor plans, elevations, sections, and details under supervision.

• Revisions: Update drawings based on feedback from senior architects or consultants.

• BIM Input: Assist in building and maintaining BIM models (e.g., in Revit).

3. Research and Analysis

• Site and Code Research: Gather information on zoning, building codes, and site conditions.

• Material Research: Investigate materials, products, and systems for use in design proposals.

• Precedent Studies: Analyze similar projects to inform design decisions.

4. Coordination and Communication

• Team Collaboration: Work closely with other team members to ensure consistency and

accuracy.

• Presentation Prep: Assist in preparing boards, slides, and documents for client or internal

presentations.

5. Learning and Development
