Recently I was invited to participate in a student and faculty architecture trip to Rotterdam. In the two previous articles I covered transportation and architecture. Several students never left the US before or had been on an airplane, or on a bike. This is the last in a series of articles. Klaus Philipsen, FAIA

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.

The great thing about architecture school is that you get to hang out in design studio. You’re surrounded by other cool graduate students who have unique backgrounds and so many ideas and experiences to share. For me, Guide to Architecture Schools was worth its weight in gold. That feeling didn’t last long, though.

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.

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.

I’m not sure that it’s that big a deal nowadays – and it would seem that most graduating architecture students don’t really know how to sketch based on the portfolio’s I’ve seen. I could get creative and work some geometry and algebra into the mix, but I can generally avoid it if I want.

Architectural schools are often staffed with educators who are ill at ease actually practicing in the “real world”. They find refuge in academia with its impressionable young students eager to learn what they have to say (since their prospective clients were not interested).
