We are training people to be more than just competent professionals that s all the University of X does, because they have to deal with traditions. We are teaching people to be able see things and design things and develop things that other people just don t see. We understand that students have to get jobs, but in addition to teaching fundamental and bottom-line skills, we re teaching students to design space and buildings and cities and objects in ways that are above and beyond what our culture asks for. We re not teaching people to be capricious architects, but to go so far beyond the bottom line. In our profession we like to distinguish building from architecture.
Building is competent stuff.
Architecture is what we teach at SCI-Arc.
