WHAT IS YOUR ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM LIKE?
Hello !
Thanks to many opinions I finally decided to study architecture but the problems of choosing a school comes.
Though there are a list of accredited program and numbers of rankings that I can refer to, I think it important to know about what exactly the school program focused on. And I know I can search them on the school page, but the information there is somewhat..well.. vague for me.
So would you mind just writing down something, no matter several words or a passage, about the focus of the architecture program which you studied/studying in or know about? (like the emphasis on urban impact / the emphasis on creative structures / the emphasis on professional skills)
Or in other words, what is the strength of this program in your opinion?
Every reply would be appreciated !
By the way, pls tell me the school name and undergrad/grad.
Thank you all !
Sincerely,
Aubrey
eu... country would help narrow down your choices a little. Your question is beyond vague.
Non Sequitur Sorry for confusing you. I forgot to mention that I am studying in US; I am just wondering if someone can share what is your architecture program like(preferred in US ) so I can find out the program that I may like to go.
I wouldn't call choosing school "a problem"... eventually the school will choose you and not vise versa....
my program like many others is design-focused, all courses revolve around the "Architectural Studio" where you design...
There are plenty of alumni on these boards that would give you great info if you provide a little more information. Unfortunately we architects aren't mind readers, no matter how much our clients would like us to be.
@zania, Thank you. I know that school will make the decision but I can at least apply to those program that I may more fit in.
@ Josh Mings. Thank you for your advice. To be specific, I am more interested in problem solving and architecture in urban context. I am in California; I 've visited the websites of two Cal Polys and UC Berkeley/LA (since private schools are not so affordable). When I looked at the student gallery in Cal Poly slo, for example, I saw many creative works; but I might never be that creative. That's why I am trying to find is there any program which seems, comparatively, more practical. (like coming up with architecture plans to solve housing problem)
"...I saw many creative works; but I might never be that creative."
Are you sure that architecture is right for you? Maybe something like urban design/planning?
Berkley is great - DONE.
......On to more important things like war, climate change, Harvard V Yale, Mac V PC.
Now go buy a ticket to Berkley, visit the place not the website and see for yourself. Report back to us in 2 weeks your findings.
