It is also important to have good organizational skills and the ability to communicate ideas through drawings, models and words. An architect is constantly switching from the 'right' to 'left' brain. This depends on one's emphasis in the field of architecture. Some architecture schools are closely associated with related disciplines such as landscape architecture, interior design, furniture and product design, engineering, etc. Some architecture departments have a strong relationship with the fine art department.
Architecture schools vary in their emphases.
The choice of school depends on what the student wants to do with the education. I can't recommend a particular university or school. Professors and teachers vary from one school to another and within a school. A degree from one school may look better on paper than another, but ultimately the student gets out of the education what he or she puts into it. Once at a school, seek out the teachers with the most to offer.
