Behind the closed Doors of Architecture school
I feel like no one prepares you or can summon what to expect when you go to architecture school. society has a perception of what an “architect” does, but no one really sees the depth behind the structure, they only see the aesthetic sense of being. What many do not realize is that in architecture school everything you produce is a reflection of your mind and creativity, so that is why the blow is ten times harder when you get rejected by a crit, because they have not shut down words from a book that you learned but rather they have dug deep into your identity. We grow thick skin because we constantly have to repel criticism, architecture school challenges every bit of you from your mental state to your physical being. It’s rough and I wish we could enlighten society to see the depth of what it takes to make it in this industry.
Who knows maybe I’m a frustrated architecture student on a rant, or I’m truly trying to open this subject of conversation so people can look in, cause I know I never had a clue until I entered this subjective world myself.
Architecture food for thought :)
