can dream...it's what normal people do while they make a living or sleep. there is absolutly nothing to applaude about a school the pushes the envelope to an industry that doesn't exist - academic architecture. if you want to get crazy do it in post professional grad school. there are so many pathetic licensed architects out there already...and even if they were "creative" as Rem was in his early days it wouldn't make a difference. if you can't build it or detail it to be built or figure out what your engineer needs to figure out - you are not an architect, at best a draftsmen with crazy ideas, crazy ideas becasause the guy who knows how to build it had that idea for about 2 seconds and then moved. imagination and creativity in the sense of academic architecture is a joke...no wonder this profession is damn near useless. "The profession does not work. It's economically non viable. Our work is pure iteration. Far too time consuming, and as a result, it's impossible to charge anyone for the work we have actually done." I feel very sympathetic to this, although I don't know what they mean by "iteration" here. I'm a dressmaker, and if I were to bill anyone for all the time I spend researching, working out dress patterns in my sketchbook before drafting them, hunting through fabric stores, etc., the cost would be ridiculous. It's hard enough to get people to pay for the actual cutting and sewing.
