Backing up a bit, when I graduated from architecture school, I returned to Wisconsin to look for a job with an architectural firm to continue my apprenticeship. I chose to attend the University of Minnesota because, located in Minneapolis, it was the closest school to my parent’s home in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. [3]

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and this event was most likely going to be filled with ex-professors and old classmates of mine. I used to think the only thing an architect did was draft a pencil sketch of what was going to be built. As sweet as it is, it is not mine. Now I know a little better (just a little!)

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.

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?
