haha. he's married to one of our professors (judy bing), so there is a lot of drexel-temple architectural info. that gets shared, and he stops by as a critic once in a while.
~NezzyTC:iconNezzyTC: Mar 21, 2008, 11:41:22 AM
lmao! yes he was my hvac professor and yeah...interesting
~Gabriel-Thomas:iconGabriel-Thomas: Mar 20, 2008, 8:40:33 PM
drexel does something different...we took those concepts and put a twist on them...

we do two years of full time school, and then four years of part-time school with a full time apprenticeship (which counts towards IDP). This way we can complete everything, and take our NCARBs after 6 years.

it's pretty intense...but it's worth it. Temple is very competitive, as is Drexel, and it's interesting to look at the way the two programs work.

PS have you ever had J. Harrington as a professor?

Honestly, it takes just as long for doctors to practice as architects do! I want to do my graduate studies in the united states, but I will have to write a bunch of tests to do so...

So I might have to opt for somewhere else!
~NezzyTC:iconNezzyTC: Feb 22, 2008, 8:43:46 AM
For us it can be done two ways. Get the bachelor of arch (5 years) then work for 3 years and then go get the license. Or.

Get the bachelor of science (4 years) go to grad school for the m.arch (3 year) then work for 3 years, then take the exam.

We might as well be doctors I swear lol
~damsel-distressed:icondamsel-distressed: Feb 21, 2008, 3:04:30 PM
so how does getting licensed work in the US?

for me in canada, i must do an undergraduate(4yrs), then a graduate(2yrs) architecture program. then 2 years of apprenticeship/internship and then i can get my license.

Its almost like becoming a doctor!
~NezzyTC:iconNezzyTC: Feb 20, 2008, 2:52:40 PM
well still got a thesis year to go but afterwards i'll go for my license
~damsel-distressed:icondamsel-distressed: Feb 18, 2008, 8:00:41 PM
Im in my third year right now...which is so frightening to think that Im almost done! Someone described architecture school as a "vacuum of time"...its quite true when you think about it!

What are your plans after graduation?
~damsel-distressed:icondamsel-distressed: Feb 18, 2008, 5:02:35 PM

ah, high schooler here, just wondering.
I really wanna get into architecture, but i just need a 2 questions answered first.
I noticed people making models of their designs.
Is this a skill you have to build upon while you're out of school, or will they teach you it?
And is sketching a skill you use when traveling, to get designs down for reference?
