@SeaFury I took a structures course but it only really covered the basics: axial forces, shear, and moment connections

I think there might have been a course on grid shells and tensile structures but it was an optional elective

By the time I got to integrated studio in #architectureschool, our structural consultant was pretty annoyed that we didn't have a more detailed understanding of loads, occupancy, formulas, etc

Architecture students always inhabit their studios in the most charming ways #ArchitectureSchool
Teaching this morning. It’s a studio where we design a parasite In a laneway. The site analysis is due in a couple of days #ArchitectureSchool

Architects: How important is it to know structure in your design practice?

They've ripped the guts out of our architecture degree, it's now more important to choose materials based on narrative and aesthetics than performance. I'm sad that the next generation of architects knows more about photoshop than loads.

@coolgrey @garybarker “What’s worse than worst is Wurster!” Someone graffitied that in the main stairwell; needed pep talk when you’re down to the weee hours beforecrit! #ArchitectureSchool
Exploring how to make sense of space. The brief, carve up a 3x3 metre cube to make a micro dwelling. One of the challenges is working out how to maximise the use of the height of the cube. We set up a 1:1 model of the cube so students could get a sense of the space. #architectureSchool #microDwelling
