A while back I wrote a post titled “ Architectural Interns ” where I stated: Other than slowing things down, interns aren’t very useful in small firms because we run fast and lean. I hope all firms can give their interns chances to prove themselves, and support the growth of those who rise to the occasion.

Our architectural educations should be viewed more as personal improvement, building our skills and reinforcing our knowledge, and less as a ticket to professional exclusivity. The lessons we learn and the skills we acquire during our time in architecture school make us unique to any other people on earth. We are taught to see.

I believe architectural education needs to train architects to recognize and harness our innate desire to create. Architecture school need to teach architects how to better listen, communicate, as well as design. Anyone will be able to directly create buildings through software, no architect need apply. Its silly to say “Change.”

Architectural schools are often staffed with educators who are ill at ease actually practicing in the “real world”. By extension, it leads we architects to feel we have a better path, a path that we know and you should all be following; taken to an extreme it can make us elitist and at its worst cynical.
