Best Route to Get Into Sustainable Architecture.
All,
I am currently an undergrad student on track to earn a B.A. in Environmental Science. I have realized too late that sustainable/green architecture and design is what I want to do. Unfortunately my school (U of Iowa) doesn't have any sort of architecture program. I am wondering what steps I should take next. I know I should try and get some sort of education in architecture. However, should I look into a B.A. or B.S. in Architecture or a Master's?
Thank you,
Matt
Um, no. JUST NO!
Once you finish your BA, if you want to become an architect, you should look into MArch programs for those with non-architectural backgrounds. Most schools have them. They may require an additional year/year and a half over those with architectural backgrounds.
If you are specifically interested in sustainable architecture, then you should take your first list of schools and go through their programs for those which are specifically strong on sustainability, or that offer dual degrees (or certificates).
Good luck.
