Who would want to be an architecture student?

Tom Dyckhoff of the UK’s Times gives us some words to describe the lives (or ex-lives) that we’ve lived as architecture students, why we do it, how we do it, and what the recession means for academia:

Bad pay, few jobs and an uncertain future? Who’d want to be an architecture student in the current climate?

On the plus side it fosters resilience. On the minus, architects live in a world hermetically sealed from the rest of us…”We teach students to be flexible, and optimistic”… By Tom Dyckhoff- The Times
