One of the most common themes of these emails is that architecture school is nothing like working in the real world. I loved playing with Lego’s as a child (variation 1b is “I used to sketch up house plans as a child.”) I was still in architecture school as everyone else graduated. ”) 2.

I want to go to architecture school but I don’t really enjoy making models–the process is quite frustrating for me… should all aspiring architects be passionate about model making? We had college architectural interns make this model – they are in their model-making prime! And this is a really great blog.:)

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. Deciding to write this blog has in many ways become a watershed moment for me in my career. I know I believe it.

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. Which would explain why I’m at this blog.

In 1540 Sebastiano Serlio drew this sketch in Book IV of his On Architecture.* A complete English translation of Serlio's 5 Books on Architecture , including the sketch of the pediment's layout, was available in the UK about 1720. He uses the geometry in the pediment of a Menagery, in his book, On Architecture *.

His architecture is not swayed by the International Style or the new and boisterous design paradigm–no, it adheres to no common set of rules, but that which Gaudi believed nature intended.

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.

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. Your blog is the now part of my daily digest.

If you are an architectural student – or a young architecture school graduate – Architectural Portfolios are extremely important. Resumes are important, they can help you get an interview, but few people coming out of architecture school will ever get hired based on their zippy resume.

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.

I learned to design in architecture school using freehand sketching and manual drafting. And though others in my profession often use computers to assist their design, I still begin with the sketch…by hand. Often, I look down at the blank piece of paper without a definite sense of what the design wants to be.

So perhaps I can truly say that my father’s architectural and stylistic tastes were indeterminate, but he knew for sure that my mother, Mona, the beauty whom he married in 1950, was a woman. I wrote about her the day after she died in this column for the Journal, “ Sketching my mom of moms.” Pinterest).

After getting into architecture school, one of the first things you learn is that the profession requires a lot of sacrifices and many years in order to reach success. They can sketch and verbally explain functions and relations between spaces while already subconsciously incorporating structure into the design.

The most successful projects though are the ones where we fully understand the people living and working within the architecture we design. Before we grab the roll of trace and start sketching with the Sharpie, we gather as much information about the users of our buildings as possible. So, “I know what I’m doin’ too.”
