ABSTRACT
Architecture students should experience a wide range of buildings around the world. The field trip is a vitally important element of architecture school. Architectural practice is providing professional services in connection with the design, construction, extension, conservation, restoration or alteration of a building or group of buildings. Before applying to architecture school, student should research the various avenues into practice and speak to people already practising to ensure they prepared and informed when making that decision. Architectural education is about building the ability to solve spatial problems, and the nature of these problems and opportunities will change over the years. Schools of architecture tend to be incredibly open institutions and should welcome any approach by a future architecture student. All universities and architecture schools have websites and social media feeds. All universities, including architecture schools, are subject to a growing number of benchmarking processes and metrics, to give prospective students more information.
