That does not appear to be the way that they teach architecture. My elder son is just about finished with his Master's Degree in Architecture and he has often been critisized for being too practical. I think they should teach function too but that does not seem to fit with the university part of the training. All they appear to want is the creative side. I guess they expect them to learn that part once they get into the real world. Of course, I also think that the "starchitects" who make the creative designs and get the work also have a crew of worker bee architects back at the office who have to figure out how to actually build it.
Randy -----Original Message----- but IMO, a structure has to provide the basics of necessary function before it can be considered usable, let alone 'good architecture'.
