Tried looking this up on the forum but couldn't find any history beyond some comments here-and-there. Which architecture schools/departments in the United States have a heavy emphasis on visualization, rendering, representation, and so on? I can think immediately of places such as SCI-Arc, but beyond that I'm not quite sure, perhaps UPenn and GSAPP?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

GSAPP offers lots of Visual Studies classes which I think are rather interesting (perhaps not strictly architectural visualization, but "visual" on a broader sense). You can see the student works here: https://www.arch.columbia.edu/...

remember, there is far more to architecture than pressing the teapot button. You don’t need a $100k piece of paper to know how to make renderings so don’t let that be the focus of your studies.

Maybe OP wants to be more of a paper artist than an architect - like what that "post digital" thread was discussing. You could stay in that world and back-scratch each other with exhibitions, monographs, lectures, and occasionally teaching studios if your friends also hang out professionally in academia. It's a viable path if the cards are played right - and the powers that be remain in charge of hiring. But it is risky if they catch the tail end of a passing academic fad and find themselves out of sync with the times as the kids move on to cooler vibes. Academia is its own planet.
It's the study of the study of architecture. A lot of navel gazing.

Yes, unless you *really* want to pursue that, I second what Non Sequitur said. Youtube University does wonderful job in teaching visualization.

Your Quora-esque and demeaning interrogations, obviously displaced forms of sorrow from a failed educational pathway, are lazy, pathetic, and cringe. As well as everyone else on here on the

School isn’t the best or cheapest place to learn skills like this (practice is). School gives you the opportunity for design studios, networking and ‘academic inquiry’. I would reconsider your thinking but best of luck to you.

You didn't answer the question at all and instead chose to type out some measly critique, good job

Everyone's telling you the same thing but you're not listening. To be fair, maybe you have the money and time to waste on this, but most of us don't. Take it for what it's worth. Just because you don't like the answer, doesn't mean it's wrong.

Never once did I imply that I was interested myself in these programs, in applying, so the comments remain entirely nonsensical. I

You should consider giving up. If you want to focus on viz, why do you need a masters from an accredited university, let alone an architectural license? Maybe an MFA is more your speed.

Trolling aside, UW Milwaukee has a decent viz/design focused program and doesn't cost as much as an ivy league.
