We have a responsibility to recognise that what we build today should endure and enhance the lives of those who come after us. A career in architecture will most likely combine equal parts inspiration, frustration, perspiration and elation. But, if you are inquisitive and think about how things might be improved, worry about the city and sustainability, are obsessed with beauty and need to draw to effectively explain something, then architecture might be right for you The question of whether studio-based learning is relevant for professional practice or whether it holds too much emphasis on the realm of fine art is an interesting one. The consolidation between professional practice courses and studio courses in university prepares students for more than simply the technical aspect of architecture.
