To the Student of Architecture,
You are here because you are searching for something. You are here because you are not finding it in the schools and are left feeling unfulfilled with "higher" education. I know because I was just like you. I know because I receive letters from great individuals every day telling me about their complaints with schools and the profession.

One of the things that boosts my excitement about the future of Architecture is knowing that others share the vision that I believe to be correct. Indeed my views (expressed on this site) are not popular among mainstream architects or universities. But in disregarding the mainstream, you will find a wealth of resources available to you.

Perhaps the most important responsibility you have is to not squander your talents. There will be enough people doing that inherently. The world will not miss another mediocre architect. Therefore, you should push yourself and your talents towards creating something new and beautiful. Otherwise, there is no point to your continuing this path.

You are about to become part of a long tradition of artists and architects. You are joining the long list of individuals who did not simply accept what the world offered them.

Several Individuals working away with passion can correct 500 years of bad architecture. Knowing that they exist helps motivate me. Each connection you make will lead you to dozens more, from books to study, people to meet and things to observe. I would like to help you make these connections.

If you have read this far, then perhaps you would like to continue further.
