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.

Your future in architecture depends on your ability to learn and UN-learn – letting go of how things are and imagining new possibilities. Being a successful architect takes more than creating a wonderful idea and presenting it to your client. Entrepreneurship. There is a reason I am starting here and not with design.

The reality of dating an architect might involve more coffee than champagne, and looking at the same sketch for 2 months. To make up for their smaller budget, they can craft the best presents. And anything else architecture related. Besides books, the flat is also covered in anything other architecture-related.

The aim is to expose the student to the practical realities of ‘practice’; to learn about dealing with people - consultants, clients and colleagues; to keep deadlines and work in a structured environment for a regular number of hours a day. When put this way, it doesn't sound very interesting or educational at all.

The most successful projects though are the ones where we fully understand the people living and working within the architecture we design. Before we grab the roll of trace and start sketching with the Sharpie, we gather as much information about the users of our buildings as possible. Listen carefully. Estimate often. Tweet This! ).

I suppose that this seems fortuitous to some people but there were times when this presented serious complications. 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.

Graeme K You mentioned that your blog is getting young people excited about becoming an architect; I’m now weeks away from completing my final year in architecture school in Scotland and there have been many late nights and moments of doubt throughout. Stopping by your blog has on many occasions inspired me to keep going.

Architect: Aldo van Eyck completed 1960 A beauty not in the mystic and distant sense, but in the attainable and present sense. It was my first year in architecture school at UH, and it was in the Architecture History class from Prof. Ryan Thomason - Amsterdam Orphanage, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

For the purposes of today’s article, I am going to assume that all architectural drawings are correct and serve their purpose of conveying intent, scope and quantity. When I graduated from architecture school in 199[mumble-mumble], computers were not that prevalent. But that’s not really the entire story is it?
