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.

Illustration from 1910 for design competition of Cove Basin near new State House. It expressed how the area of Providence between the new State House and downtown might look in 1950 if it were designed in a classical style. This would explain most of the actions of design committees, in Providence and elsewhere.

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.

Overall, what struck me about the list was the way the majority of the titles appeared to skirt architecture and design, with the monograph on Lewerentz and Douglas Spencer's Critique of Architecture firmly within the bounds of architecture but the other three books more on the field's margins.

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. I made the best of hands on learning during design-build semesters and internships.

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. If architecture is a combination of design and engineering, then it is not clear why some other engineering and design professions have faster advancement.
