    Hello Everyone,

    Where is the discussion?  I see some members (34), but would expect there to be so many more people engaged in this dialogue! :)

    I have written a blog post and received a few Tweets and at least one comment on the blog-- there is also a discussion on AIA LinkedIn on a thread where I shared my blog post.  You can read it here: http://www.indigoarchitect.com/2012/05/27/how-to-improve-architectural-education-practice/?preview=true&preview_id=1519&preview_nonce=16b369aada

    In consdering how #ArchEdu might be 'fixed' (does it need fixin'?), I think it's a good idea to look at the big picture- from yesteryear to today-- do you agree?  Or, is this much ado about nothing and the economy will sort it all out anyway...?

    Looking forward to reading more people's input to Brian's question #1: if you could put only one subject in each cup (each cup represents 1 of the 5 years of architecture school), what would you put in them?

    Respectfully yours,
    Tara
