GSAAP Intro. to Architecture program 2012

skyohan

Hello everyone,

I am going to attend the Introduction to Architecture program this summer, and would like more information on what will be taught, and how difficult is the course in terms of workload?

Anyone else attending this summer?

my background : 21/m/ bachelor of arts (economics) graduating this fall

no fine arts or architecture training/background

I will be applying for M.Arch I for the next upcoming academic year. I have no clue which schools yet, because I do not know where my application stands in terms of competitiveness.

Thanks

Yohan

Hello eerbody.

I'm attending the summer program at GSAAP too. I just got accepted into the architecture undergrad program at UBC so I'm looking into getting some experience before attending. I definitely picked Columbia because the schedule looks pretty intensive and it's one of the graduate schools I want to go to.

Hello!

I will be attending this summer as well.  leaniejim, I'm from UBC as well.

My background:  23/  bachelor of arts (human geography) with no background in architecture or design.

Looking to apply for schools at the end of this year, if not next.  Where yet, I am not sure.

I'll be staying at Columbia. Anyone else?

@strangefires, great to see other people from UBC! I'm interested in learning more about the curriculum as well... if anybody had taken the summer course before?

Hi guys:

I'll be going to this program too.

My background: BS (Physics), attended the summer program at Wash U but have no architecture experience other than that.

I've signed up for the on-campus housing. I'll be arriving at NYC on July 3rd. Does anyone know how I can get my key to my room??? I'm really bewildered about it.....

I was accepted into this program... I found it rather odd that they accepted my application literally hours after I sent in the paperwork. I hope they actually READ my application and they weren't just desperate for applicants :/

 

But as it turns out, I likely won't be able to attend due to some last minute money issues.  I was hoping to use this to help prepare a portfolio for an M.Arch but I'll have to do it the hard way (by myself). 

Please  update with your experiences during/after the program - I'm curious to see what people think about it!
