Instead of design competitions, look for pitch competitions. Apply to incubators. A lot of schools host pitch competitions, and there are plenty more open to the general public. Architects, who are used to collaborating and leading design teams, should be naturals at coordinating the engineers, strategists and designers who make up young startups. Seeing a startup through its early stages requires a lot of the same skills nourished in architects: creativity, rigor, flexibility and lots and lots of patience.

True, working on startups may mean that you will never get to don your black-rimmed glasses and imperiously bark at clients about the significance of your project, but we’re living in a time when so much of building design has been ceded to other professions, as Rem Koolhaas’ 2014 Venice Biennale pointed out. If you want a part in shaping the future, you might have to get ready to pitch.
