Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)

Well, I won't be graduated until 2014 and actually I'm studying Interior Architecture. To be honest, maybe I'm the main cause here. I wasn't satisfied with what I was taught. Lecturers are not sure with what they know.
I studied interior and they had me design exterior and landscape for my whole 3rd year.

In my uni, each project I'll have a different mentor. As a student I made mistakes on my project all the time. They're responsible for pointing that out (but they never explain why) and helping me correct those. One time, I decided to keep their corrections, not added anything else into it in order to check if they're really sure of what they're teaching us. After having a look at my project, they just insulted me. Stuff like: "What's on your head? How could you make such a stupid mistake like this? How could you be accepted to this school?" and then I said: "Well, that is your correction. That is your hand drawing. I did nothing but keeping it." They kept silence and I got bad mark. Some of them didn't know what to adjust in my projects. I asked them: "Does it look good? Is there anything need to change?".
They just said my model or my design is well-done, nothing else needed and I still got bad marks.
It's just ridiculous.

That's... Feel sorry for you to have sort of 'wasted' three years studying there. But I guess there are still some skills that may be applicable in the future! And I have to say I really appreciate your persistence in Architecture even after this bizarre teaching.

And well played to that correction thing Haha, maybe you should keep those projects and seek for advices from mentors in OB later? You can also upload to the TSR forum, there are LOTS of excellent architectural students here! (If you're brace enough...)

Once again, really feel very sorry for your experience. Hope you can soar in OB and enjoy the education there!

PS. guys, why neg again when she was just sharing her experience?

Architecture is all I can think of when it comes to my career. I couldn't stand sitting in office for hours and hours taking care of customers or answering phone or whatever like that.
Yeah, I do hope that I can do things I've never tried before when I come to OB.

PS. Is that neg rate for my awkward writing?

Came out today for anyone interested!

Check out the 2012 aj100 ranking instead, it has just been published recently. Definitely a lot more authoritative than the guardian one imo.

Could you please give me the link? Or PM me the list.
Interesting article on Guardian Architecture League Table

Sorry I couldn't find it anywhere online. But here is the list anyway (I'm a subscriber of the AJ and this was published in last week's issue)...

The top 100 British firms were asked to give their opinion on UK's best architecture school and only the top 3 have been revealed.

1. Bartlett
2. Sheffield/Mackintosh (Glasgow)
3. AA/ London Met

Hope this helps

London Met at 3 whaaat! That's surprising

Hello, i have a quiestion about the architecture field; i am interested in the whole architect career but i am more interested in the part of designing and drawing them out on CAD on computer, rather then being the person creating them from scratch
could u tell me which field this is and what a good course would be to study at uni?
Thanks!
