There is a well-documented relationship between cinema and the city-but what of their creators, the filmmaker and the architect? It is clear that both propose conditions for inhabitation, compose spatial sequences and communicate multiple narratives, but what other insights can we draw about their operation within the grey area between reality and representation? Act 1 of this paper looks to set the scene; establishing the characteristics, presence and parameters of the grey area, Act 2 investigates this shared territory through the frames of 'the city' and 'the narrative'-chosen for exploration as these are the exchange points, the positions of interaction, and the methods by which each other can be recognized and explained. Here the nature of practicing in the third space is explored through quotes from and interviews with those currently producing work in this territory. Through my practice as an academic, editor and writer, my skills and knowledge lie in communication, thus my methodology derives directly from my experience of the dissemination of conversation, and by association considers the role of the architect and the filmmaker as 'communicators'.

Too often a design or architecture degree is seen as a means to an end (a job in an established practice). But imagine for one moment that there are no employers, no firms to send your CV to, no interviews to be had – what would you do? How would you forge your own path after graduation?
The current economic climate has seen many graduates chasing a finite number of positions. The most ingenious and driven designers have found weird and wonderful ways of making opportunities for themselves, often by applying their skills across the creative disciplines of art, design, architecture and interiors. Knowing what you want from your design career and being able to adapt your strategy to suit is basic and vital – just like in the wild, designers need to evolve.
The book celebrates the various strategies that students and graduates are taking to gain exposure, while also including interviews and inspirational advice from those who are now enjoying success as a result of their creative approach to employment.

Driven by a need to examine the trajectory of architectural education and staffing, this paper questions academic recruitment and education strategy in relation to the 2015 Royal institute of British Architects (RIBA) education forum in the UK. Interviews with key academics actively challenging the future of higher education models were undertaken; London School of Architecture, AA Little Architect scheme and Free School of Architecture showcase detailed and reactionary approaches to the changing relationship between education, industry and the marketplace. An international survey was conducted gathering data from academics, the findings of which indicate a lack of clarity and consistency in the transition from architectural education into academia. The paper analyses the context of the results and proposes improvements to recruitment and staffing strategies both inside and outside of the traditional university framework. This research contributes to the wider discussion around future development and employment in arts education. If the discipline lies in the hands of the educators, then the future of the discipline lies in the hands of the future educators. To be truly forward thinking about the direction of practice we must first address our approach to academic recruitment, with a specific focus on early career academics.
