Fast forward a few years – the college process is now complete and architectural schools are churning out extremely creative graduates, ready to take on the design world … except few graduates will actually get to work on “BIG IDEA” design projects.

It talks about the process – maybe even the realization – of what it takes to get through architecture school. Architects communicate through drawing – we aren’t making art. Drawing Like an Architect Let me say here for the 1,000th time: You don’t have to draw well to be an architect.

Five years of a learning experience The mind of an architecture student is indeed a cauldron filled with fretting emotions, art, thought-provoking ideas, stories, and myriad experiences. Five years spent in an architecture school are nothing less than a roller-coaster that persuades you to find hidden values and varying purposes.

There are little sketches mixed up with diary entries and general musings on life. I found a sketch of mortar on a “spot board” and a piece of decorative brickwork, including a brick-on-edge roll. I really enjoy looking back at the little sketches from my time training as a bricklayer and then working on building sites.

Returning to architecture school as a mature student I was pursuing the idea of architecture as the reflection of a particular time and place, often subliminally expressed. In 2001 I had a little three piece blues band in Zimbabwe. A page from my history pack of 1992.

Every potential client who architects serve under 40 has created a software derived sketch. Take those tools and multiply their capacities by 1,000 in the coming decades, and architecture changes. I believe architectural education needs to train architects to recognize and harness our innate desire to create.

This shows me that they still teach European architecture when there are such great gems here in the USA. For me, I think I am torn between the British Art Muesum at Yale by Louis Kahn or the Rare Book Library by SOM again at Yale. For an out of the way corner of an out of the way state, NW Arkansas packs quite an architectural punch.

Any arts and craft stationery is likely to appear around your partner and their home. Your personal art supply store also pays off when the festivities approach.

In 1945, Johnson, whose practice and curatorial duties at the Museum of Modern Art based him in New York, decided to find a country place, and gravitated to New Canaan, a well-heeled community that was home to fellow architects Marcel Breuer and Eliot Noyes. But its the Glass House, both manifest and mythically speaking, thats the draw.
