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. Do you know the true purpose of an architectural portfolio? . I reckon I spend at least 40 hours a week on design alone.

In his world, I was just a cheap architecture student day laborer. In my world, I was working around the clock, stressed out over my classes, had my own projects to worry about and was taking out big student loans in the pursuit of someday becoming an architect. Which are a dime a dozen.

There were hundreds of architecture students graduating that spring and they were all competing for the same few positions available in the region. Every summer since my senior year in high school I worked on construction sites, learning the trade up close and studying the psychology of the architect/contractor relationship.

When I decided to select “My First Project” as a topic for this month’s ArchiTalks topic, I knew instantly which project I would choose to focus on – not because it’s so good, but because I had all sorts of attachments that I could refer to (which is an important consideration when writing an architectural blog).

I found it in a different studio at the beginning of the semester… Funny how architecture students find that maybe if they took a nap on something that it can be their own. I had it with me from one design studio to the next design studio up until my spring semester of my 4th year.

Most of the discussions focus on two major aspects: Constructibility – just what it sounds like – the judges talked about how the playhouse would be built and how the design might be impacted once a clever idea was built. We love architecture and each other! Living the dream!

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. Which would explain why I’m at this blog. Probably too much so.

I had many interesting conversations with architecture students while I was in Chicago. It was very interesting that many of them had similar questions to those I receive every day from the licensed architects who follow this blog. Some were concerned about finding a job. Others wanted to know about how to start their own firms.

Hopefully this helps in some way.
