I agree… But disagree! It really depends
My school has a really good studio culture policy. We have a few of the old faculty always doing that stuff, but the vast majority of faculty are much more relaxed. “Get sleep. I won’t be dissapointed if this and this are not totally finished. Id rather you be well rested and showered and had breakfast than a perfectly finished study model” etc.
We would still get dinged points, but if you are putting in effort (no matter how many hours you put into it) it will ALWAYS show. And that’s what most of my studio professors have looked for. The passion and working through your designs / projects more than deadline after deadline
Edit: idk why I’m being downvoted? Jealousy? No but really; I”m in an amazing architecture school of my state. We are renown locally for our work (especially model building). But we still put in the work, despite my comment above. We have amazing quality projects to show.
But we don’t get pushed so far that we are depressed or PTSD or dragging on a single project for a week. If I need to take a day to sleep and eat, I’ll take one 50 on a assignment- but that lets me turn around and kick ass the next week. That’s the passion and drive the faculty wants from us. I regularly work 40 hour weeks in studio, 60-70 for the final of course, but no faculty looks down on taking care of ourselves
