<p>I had a question for the experienced architect students and professionals…</p>

<p>I am currently studying this major and had recently joined a volunteer organization that helps build homes. The reason for this decision was to get the real feel of a building being constructed through my senses. </p>

<p>Would this be a beneficial experience for me? Maybe not so much in the near future, but hopefully down the line if I do become a licensed architect?</p>

<p>I think it is absolutely useful, it will teach you what those poor souls who have to build what you draw deal with everyday.</p>

<p>As a structural engineer, I think it’s a great idea! Architects and engineers have to understand construction details as well as aesthetics and math.</p>
