That said, I am happy to seek to design in the strict sense of the experience of living the space, because I feel it is something deeper and more valuable than what is seen at first glance in architecture; after all, one must "live" there, and that becomes constant and lasts over time beyond the sculptural. However, I find it extremely difficult for this way of seeing architecture to resonate with any of my professors. In fact, only one (who I remember with nostalgia now) was able to understand this, and he was the one who later introduced me to Wright and I learned more in that first year than in any other. But the truth is that it is a common situation that the over-simplification of everything is rewarded; one should not study the feedback too much to understand that there is a tendency for forms that can be understood as elemental or that can be seen as sculptures: they can generate a strong impact at first glance. Anyway, I would like to know what you think about this; I am not necessarily angry about this, but it makes me feel a certain sadness that I cannot find a teacher who understands my search and helps me improve in my field. What happens in the end is that I end up drawing plans that respond to the particular taste of each teacher (they draw directly on your plan which is what they want, you just need to copy and that's it) and I am almost ready to graduate and I have this regret that tells me that during all this time I would have learned much more if someone saw something valuable in my search, because I did not lack the will to work hard. Another interesting point that I noticed with the teachers and their judgment of the students' work is that they have a great weakness for "discourses" or "propositions" that tend to sound progressive and of a social nature. This is understandable, and I often agree that these searches can be noble; however, it is difficult to see these ideas materialize in the work, well it is an extremely difficult task. And yet, the best grades are those works that have the most ethical approaches, since that forgives any lack of concern regarding the design itself. submitted by /u/Joaquirn |
