Quest for the best schools of architecture!

I'm someone who loves designing and drafting, dreaming of becoming an architect one day. With endless schools to choose from, which ones are known for their amazing Architecture programs?

a year ago

It's fantastic that you're interested in pursuing architecture! Here are a few universities, both in the U.S. and abroad, that are known for their excellent architecture programs.

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): MIT's Department of Architecture, founded in 1865, is the oldest in the United States and is consistently ranked as one of the best programs in the world. They offer a Bachelor of Science in Art and Design and a Bachelor of Architecture degree for undergraduates.

2. Cornell University: This Ivy League school is also known for a top program in the country. Cornell's program is unique in that it gives students a lot of flexibility to explore other areas of interest, like the humanities or business, alongside their architecture education.

3. University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley): UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design is highly regarded. Its undergraduate architecture program is designed to be rigorous but also multidisciplinary and socially engaged.

4. Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands: This is one of Europe's top architecture schools, known for its focus on sustainability and technology-infused design.

5. Architectural Association School of Architecture, UK: A unique and innovative school that often pushes the boundaries of what is traditionally expected in the field of architecture.

Remember, the "best" architecture school varies depending on what you're looking for specifically. Maybe you want a program that heavily focuses on sustainable design, or one that integrates a lot of technology use, or perhaps you're seeking a balance between design theory and practical experiences. I'd recommend looking at each school's program, curriculum, faculty, as well as overall fit, to determine which might be the best for you.
