So You Wannabe An Architect - Part III

In Part III of this series, Architect Doug Patt takes us through Architecture as Education. As per him, architecture is an amazingly complex field and an incredible education in itself, and that there’s a lot that goes into any building and how the architect should know their way around every inch. Patt quotes  Plutarch, a Greek historian and writer, Mark Twain, the famous writer, and several others on their opinions on the art and science that is architecture.

In conclusion, Patt says that what one learns as an architect is almost seamless - it’s probably about philosophy, sociology, psychology, material science, engineering, mathematics, history, construction; and in the end making something out of nothing.
