The second goal I had for myself was that I wanted to have a project that I had designed make it into an architectural history book – that’s a lofty goal. I say “unhealthy” because I don’t really want to be doing it at all and I didn’t go to architecture school to run a business, but here I am.

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. No software can simulate the human reality of design, even with the tools of AI. Here are my thoughts.

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.

This might be a bit off-track, but this type of visualization is becoming increasingly popular in architecture schools as a design and development tool and deserves a showing.

A Better Built Environment

We can design places that have better acoustics and thus create better places to live. The design of our streets, public spaces, and buildings can consider the acoustics of the urban environment just as they respond to climate, weather, and other functions. It is seeing things like this that rekindle my passion for architecture.
