<p>We are aware of the 5 yr. professional BArch versus the 4 yr. pre-Arch + MArch. Just can’t gauge D’s affinity enough to dive into a 5 yr. program from the get go. Why the rush, anyways? </p>
<p>Your points well taken, thanks. Of course UI would argue Chicago is (certainly was) the hotbed of American architecture! Imo LA is a cultural wasteland any which way you cut it. Gehry’s works imo more often than not belong in the category of “private jokes in public spaces” (attrib. Moshe Safdie). Can’t stand to visit my alma mater anymore, thanks to Stata Center.</p>
