The best architecture movie, ever? [Monday Minute]
An epic silent film was released in the United States on this day in 1927.

It certainly was the first to influence and be influenced by architecture.

Training and Education
The importance of teaching Object-Based CAD.
The GPTC course was NOT designed to focus on any brand of software. That’s part of the mess we are in now as an industry. Instead, the intent is to focus on the structure and nature of Object-Based CAD. 

 

Then, the graduate is flexible and has more incredible opportunities. 

 

We should teach critical skills and the “nature” of the available tools. 

 

Every state may teach a different software. However, if adequately trained in terms of structure, it doesn’t matter.
