As you may know from reading the box to your right and down a little called “places where you could probably learn more about designing and building in just a few days than I did after a year of grad school,” I am starting my own architecture school.
And I need your help coming up with a name.
I have a few ideas. Tell me what you like. Tell me what you don’t like. And if you have some ideas of your own, I’d love to hear them. You can also vote and post your ideas directly on our Facebook page.
My ideas so far:
UPDATE!
I have named the school.
It’s name is VERB. Because architecture is a VERB, not a NOUN!

What is Phase One of VERB? It's a collaborative pedagogy model. That means that architects, interns, designers, builders, students, professors, people considering architecture, and yes, even bored housewives can and should participate.

I am starting 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 appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
