Yes. We did. At the very least, slacks and a jacket for men, though most put on a suit and tie. Women wore nice outfits. They were fairly "formal" events.
No tie, but usually slacks and a jacket. Sometimes a really nice pair of jeans. Others went all out. And some others did shorts and a t-shirt. Most everyone went all out for thesis reviews however.
no. not for decades at least at my uni (for m.arch)
i did wear suit to defend phd and for interview for positions at universities but that is about it when it comes to academia.
for me personally suits are reserved for meeting with govt officials and bankers and such.
the only time i dressed up for position at office the partner interviewing me thought it was funny...cuz real architects don't wear suits (this was in UK, mind you).
Back in the 70s, it was not unusual at all for whole classes to do their final presentations in the nude. Cameras were prohibited, but it was a great time to sketch.
I'm picturing Berkeley, the northern California coast, hot tubs, and free love. J/K. Funny.
I personally know Herzog de Meuron lost a major project in Istanbul in 90's for wearing jeans and sports jackets with no ties in front of board members while presenting their proposal.
People wear whatever they think is hip. And the definition of what is hip has changed. When Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg wear jeans in any situation, students will surely do the same. In fact, people pride themselves on not being a 'suit'.
Designer jeans, designer jacket, button-down shirt, nice boots/ shoes. Basically trying to crib the style of your reviewers without being derivative. You want them to think you look good, and to wish they had found that jacket/ pair of boots/ accessory you have on.
I appreciated when the students went out of their way to dress nicely, and better when their outfit played into/was somehow related to their presentation/project.

Dumb question (why not) - in school, did people suit up for final juries?
Yes. We did. At the very least, slacks and a jacket for men, though most put on a suit and tie. Women wore nice outfits. They were fairly "formal" events.
Others?

Dressing up for final juries? What? Most times, we were so under-slept and unkempt, that all we did was shower the morning of the jury.
You showered? Fancy!
most tried to dress alittle nicer than usual,
some "suited" up it was certainly not required
i think we just thought it was fun ... you know
to not look bummy at least a couple days out of the semester..
Suits are for funerals.

For some, many final reviews are ...
