| Kind of hijacking this thread but whatever, it's a little on topic:
I was talking to an architect who got his B.Arch from UMinnesota and M.Arch from MIT. He said that one of the most valuable things he got out of his BArch design studios was integrating older students with younger students - that is, having everyone almost work together, or at least not completely separating older students from the younger.
He said that seeing older students' work helps you have some sort of precedent/bar for yourself and what you should be striving for, or above. I'm not sure how any of you feel about that, but what has the experience of you current students or now-architects been in this regard? Did/do you feel like you had/have "access" to older students as helpful resources? Is this worth taking into consideration when picking BArch programs? |
