They look like 1/4″ At my firm we typically start at 1/16″ and work up to 1/8″, usually do not go above unless its working out a detail or a small detailed area. Depending on the architecture school themselves, hand drafting and sketching may be a big part of it or barely existent. Especially in planning firms.

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. Life can be very conflicting sometimes.

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.

We have a lot of photographers that are friends of the firm and we found one who was willing and able to accommodate the size of our model. 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?

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. This could be almost anything within the field of architecture – it doesn’t necessarily stick to one thing.

Art Vandelay “Most firms will cover some or all costs associated with exams and initial license” None of the half dozen firms in which I have worked with during the last 7 years have. I believe the firm paying for your licensing is a pre-2008 standard and is now considered overhead as opposed to an investment.
