Turning a Blind Eye

 

Turning a Blind Eye

 

While reading “Architecture’s Public” written by Giancarlo De Carlo I couldn’t help but relate it to my own experience within the school of architecture. Though times are different I can understand why students would be frustrated with faculty that refuses to adjust their mindset as the world changes. I know that in my time here at Clemson I have not always listened to exactly what faculty members have suggested when it comes to what I design. Though I appreciate the feedback, sometimes I feel like they are just trying to convert me to what they believe is “correct”. When in reality what I believe is very important for architects is to be able to develop your own style or ideals. There is nothing wrong with being influenced by other people, but I believe being forced to conform to someone else believes isn’t the way to do It.
