ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
|
According to Keelan Kaiser, FAIA, LEED bd+c, Architecture Program Director at California Baptist University, “Drawing, composition, and creativity are the most valuable skills a college freshman in architecture can have.” He recommends starting in high school with art, design, photography, or architecture classes to be prepared to study architecture in college. But these skills apply to more than just architecture. Composition is the same concept in design, music, or writing. Students can utilize this critical thinking and problem-solving ability to thrive in virtually any field.

I was 16 when I knew I wanted to be an architect, but beyond my high school drafting class I had no idea what an architect even did. I had never seen a Guggenheim Museum or heard of Frank Gehry. What was design, and did it have any meaning or purpose?
Thankfully I can now give you the answer to that question: Yes! After 12 years of teaching architecture to high school students I see the benefits of the things they learn. |
