Some things not taught in architecture school
Posted on | December 5, 2010 |
Check this article co-authored by Sherin Wing, “Things I Didn’t Learn in Architecture School.” I am listing the cool 12.
- Even if your boss is your friend he may have to axe you to save his business.
- Once you leave architecture school not everybody cares about architecture or wants to talk about it.
- It’s architecture, not medicine. You can take a break and no one will die.
- Get the biggest monitor you can.
- Your boss reads your blog.
- If your firm is outsourcing work to save money, be concerned.
- If you already have a B.Arch, consider further education in a different field. Your M.Arch. can’t make a real contribution to the field if you’re just showing off software skills.
- Always back up your hard drive.
- Architect’s web pages are often out of control and take too long to load.
- Do not obsess about sustainability to the exclusion of other factors.
- Renderings done in China are so last year.
The rest are here.
