Journal of a Junior Architect

Mirco Azzopardi is a recent architecture graduate from the Royal Academy in The Hague.

Living between Malta and Western Europe, this book captures a series of short texts written over three years.

Journal of a Junior Architect follows moments rather than projects. A lecture, a street, a train ride, a village square. Each becomes a way of looking at the built environment and the systems that shape it.

Written from within practice, these pieces sit between observation and reflection. They question what the architect does, what is expected of them, and what is quietly accepted around them.

This is not a manifesto. It is a record.
