Question on Architecture study/schools
*******************************************

We are in California.

My daughter likes home design. She spends a lot of time drawing homes
and is interested in homes. She wants to be an architect.
She is fascinated with high end homes.

However, she struggles Math. How much of an impact will this have ?
How important is Math for a degree in architecture?


What are the most important strengths that an architecture student
should have ?


Any input/suggestions/pointers on the above would be highly
appreciated.


PLEASE HELP.

Thanks,
Sue

the word architecture contains the word art and technology. it's both a
science and an art. u can enter the field from art or science undergraduate
degree. architecture is a second degree, u need an undergraduate degree to
get in. some university prefers an art undergraduate degree but some
university prefers science. u needs to know about basic structural theory
as well as fine art displacement. some university doesn't call it
architecture but urban design. it's strawberries u pick. u decide what u
want. your daughter is going to work with a bunch of guys in the
construction field and those guys are very tough. think before u enter.

You can go straight from high school to a B.Arch program and get
licensed with the B.Arch.

Have your daughter draw 100 different houses between now and
Valentines day and then ask her opinion of architecture.
The *drawing* is the smallest piece of the pie.

Also, being an architect is a huge overkill for designing large scale
residences.
IOW, its not necessary.
