Architecture Addiction. Getting you where you need to be.
I just read this essay by Robert Campbell called “Why don’t the rest of us like the buildings the architects like?”
He wrote it after learning that Harvard’s highly-lauded and much beloved Peabody Terrace is an eyesore to the general public.
Here’s the pdf:
Why don’t the rest of us like the buildings the architects like?

It is my dream to start a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs approriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
