A series of Interviews with Architecture School Students, Graduates, and Applicants.
About the Project:
In this project we are conducting interviews with current, future and former students of some of the world’s best-known architecture schools. We hope to reveal the good, the bad and the ugly in architectural education, as well as understand more about the universal architecture school experience. Each interview is recorded, transcribed and analyzed. The sum of the overall analysis of all interviews, will serve as the foundation for a report that will be published on Architecture School Review in the summer of 2022.All the interviews are available for everyone to watch and react to (scroll down to browse).
Introduction
‘Work’ at architecture school has been described as amazing, creative, inspiring, transformative, and captivating. ‘Life’ at architecture school, on the other hand, has been described as stressful, hectic, busy, lonely, and in many cases, inhumane. It is true that people who have decided to become architects cannot possibly imagine themselves not going through this three to five-year-long rite of passage (a B.Arch. Mitzvah’ so to speak), however, even the most dedicated of them often seem to be faced with a sense of confusion about their education, stress about their career, and disillusionment at the profession of architecture that they once revered.
What is the source of all these contradictions, and why have both the education and practice of architects remained the same over all these years in spite of the obvious need for change in the whole experience of being an architect? These are questions that we will try to answer
