Should you study architecture? After seven years at architecture school, graduating last year, and now working as a graduate designer, here is my honest take.
This is neither a sales pitch for architecture school or a warning, just purely my experience and the learnings from it, so you can make your own decision by the end of the video :)

The nine points in this video cover the unknown of architecture school and why the more you learn, the harder it gets, the importance of critical thinking and letting go of your ego in crits. Finding your own way to be an architect, burnout and the stigma around all-nighters, and the importance of studio culture and the people you surrounding yourself with. Also, letting go of perfectionism, the basis of whether you need to be good at math's or drawing before you start, and the one question to ask yourself if you’re on the fence ;)
