annielauren asked: I'm pretty sure modern refers to the modern architecture era or "the international style" while contemporary is current. I don't know if in the future we will have a different word for whats current and we'll refer to our era as contemporary, or if contemporary is an ever present state..
jedelmayer asked: I am not sure if this is something that you have discussed before but I have been wondering this for quite some time. After experiencing the everyday use of these terms for he past 5 years: Is there/what is the difference between the terms 'Modern' and 'Contemporary' when speaking about things in the Design world?!
Anonymous asked: I just graduated with my BSArch and am thinking about working in an office and getting experience before going back and getting my masters degree. What is the job market like? Do I even stand a chance with just a Bachelors? I'm very worried that I won't be able to find a job in a competitive environment.

True Studio Stories : The Super Bowl
I went to the University at Buffalo for my undergraduate which is located in Buffalo NY. The Giants were in the Superbowl against the New England Patriots. It was a true David vs. Goliath story because the Pats were undeafeated that season. We had a review the following Tuesday so it meant that weekend was nothing but studio work.
Like true New Yorkers we just decided take a break and cheer for...
Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm an architecture student from Australia and I was wondering how the semester works in the States? You mention stuff like 'mid semester review' in your posts. Never heard of anything like that here. We get an assignment every 2/3 weeks starting from the first day of sem to the last. Just wondering how it works on the other side (:
Anonymous asked: About to finish my undergrad in Art History with a minor in Architectural Studies. I have some decent drawings, but my portfolio is meager at best.

Keep Calm and Carry on
Architecture as a whole may not be in the best of shape but don’t let that totally discourage you. The best advice I can give is too GET AN INTERNSHIP!!!!! I myself, studied abroad and took better paying jobs to pay for school during the summer and that has been my biggest regret. I’ve had interviews where they loved my work, loved my personality, but were shocked that I didn’t...

archstudentmind asked: So I'm on holiday right now and one of the things I always put on my list is to work on my portfolio when I have the time. I realized some of my work isn't up to my standards now. How important would you say is it to go back to projects I've done a few semesters ago and make changes to it? I've heard that a "project is never finished" but at the same time, it's...
