She’s a confirmed studio rat and has done well there so far but has seen other students eviscerated during crits. And looking back I think I probably had a better school experience for it.

Seeds planted in architecture school bloom into a full-on virus as professionals launch their own firms and find their way to small business. As I entered architecture school, it happened too quickly. Architecture is not about the money. Go Back to School. No More Starving Artist. Does that sound familiar?

Life of an Architect – Year’s Two (2011) and Three (2012) I will admit that in year two I fell off the writing pace I had set in year one, but not by much. In 2011 I wrote 159 articles and in 2012 that trend continued … I only wrote 96 articles. Today is a look at years two and three. Weird, right?

The education of an architect intentionally and systematically breaks down the creative process “baggage” and untrained habits of their students, and then starts the process of rebuilding that process in a non-stigmatized environment. The schooling that I received addressed the Art of Architecture, as well has history, etc.

I found the jambox two years later in one of the other architecture school buildings, sitting there on a table as if that’s where I had left it the two years prior… … with no mix tape. I had it with me from one design studio to the next design studio up until my spring semester of my 4th year.

Or, at least now you’re wondering how, since I literally just told you about that… Being from Frisco, TX (a 15-year-old suburb city with 500 sports fields and nearly as many schools), I had some pretty unique opportunities as a high school student. Arch at UT Austin.

Travel sketchers and architecture students would all enjoy better success if they knew, say how to pull the pencil to keep an even lineweight. I often wonder how much sketching gets used when you reach the “real world” My architecture school puts very heavy emphasis on learning sketching and hand drawing skills.

When I first started architecture school as a freshman in college, I didn’t have the focus or maturity I needed to tackle the curriculum and I ended up having a serious identity crisis when I was 19 years old. I’m going to share this with my ACE Mentor Program Students! Something a master machine can’t make.

For the purposes of today’s article, I am going to assume that all architectural drawings are correct and serve their purpose of conveying intent, scope and quantity. When I graduated from architecture school in 199[mumble-mumble], computers were not that prevalent. I teach my students the same values.

Over the past 40 years, the requirements for architectural licensure have increased tremendously in terms of time and cost to the candidate. the costs of student loans, and general costs of living, and then compare them to the income of a young architect it is ridiculous! That same school now charges $960 per credit hour.

These days, many students work from home or their apartments since the work is done digitally. Also, where I spent a ridiculous amount of time building basswood models, most of the students I talk to these days send their digital files to a laser cutter and have the pieces of their model cut for them.

In my decade working as an architect in Chicago, from 1997, after graduating from architecture school, to 2006, when I left for grad school in New York City, I made many, many — many — trips to Prairie Avenue Bookshop, spending too much money there but always feeling when I walked out the door that I could have easily spent much, much more.
