What are some of the exercises that were given to you in architecture school to stimulate problem solving? I’m an architecture professor and I’m trying to make my students think outside the box and stimulate design thinking and problem based learning. What are some of the dynamics your architecture professors implemented when you were still in school?

We were given a one day sketch problem to design a ten dollar bill. Of course we all came back with modernist solutions: like a big fat helvetica 10 on a white field. The professor called us all idiots. It’s money you fools, he said. It’s supposed to be hard to copy! It HAS to be complicated. The same guy gave us four hour sketch problems every day. Best design studio I ever had.
Not from architecture school, but you could check out Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies cards. Each card has a suggestion to inspire lateral thinking. Meant for music I think, but they are broad enough to apply to many creative processes.

The one “problem solving” project I did in my third semester was designing a house for someone who has a disability. Blind, amputee, etc. I’m pretty sure Google may think I or someone in my family is going blind. The restriction was it had to use Shipping containers as modules. I hate projects that use shipping containers for a litany of reasons, but it’s a good exercise to use as it also gets you thinking about structure. Most kids, I found, in architecture school know almost nothing about structure. This could be an interesting intro to structure. Because you have to make sure that if you cut out the wall of a shipping container, you support the ceiling. I used 8’ OC for supports on the long wall of the container. Or basically however wide your container/module is. We were able to use anything we wanted to present, so some kids used Revit, some kids drew it. I think one kid drew it in MS Paint. There’s a bunch of ways you can swing this. Doesn’t even have to be a disabled person. Could just be one or two people and you must use 4 containers or something. As much as it pains me to say it, shipping containers as modules is a great way to get kids thinking about structure. Make sure you don’t lead them to believe this is an eco friendly way of housing people. I can provide you some resources on why they are not. Story for a different time though. I enjoyed this project though as I am really looking to go into residential/light commercial architecture.

Introduce a site with very clear resources and information. When they’re halfway through the design, flip the script on them. Maybe the N arrow is flipped, a topo map is introduced, a boring log comes in with a high water table, etc. Then, have them analyze their work with the new information. Do they keep it, redesign, or start from scratch?

Hey, Porfs: great question! I wrote a response to another thread that recalled my early experiences in first year (Sophomore) design studio. I’ll find it and add the link here. One project that stands out to me: 1. We were asked to design a bridge that could span 3’ and hold a 5lb brick. The trick was, it could only weigh less than a pound. One guy designed this slightly curved geo-desic or triangular framed span of balsa wood that he wrapped in 2-3 layers of butter paper. It weighed like 30 oz, if I’m not mistaken. I knew he’d solved the problem. I, on the other hand, worked diligently building a traditional truss frame with vertical members as well (for redundancy). Mine was also made of balsa wood. And the top of it was a thin 2” strip of balsa wood. On final crit day, all 6 studios (about 180 students) stood on the 3-story staircase and balcony overlooking the second stair landing where each of us had to stand and face the “great white throne of judgment:” would our bridges hold or fold? Well, most of them either torqued or broke. But most of them twisted. That’s what mine did. I didn’t want to let mine go. All the guys kept yelling: “Let it go! Don’t hold it! It’s going to work!” It felt like an eternity. Then, finally, I let go and my bridge failed. It twisted and the brick fell. I felt so embarrassed and humiliated. Back in our smaller studio, one guy said of the guy who’s bridge held: “Chris (not his real name) is going to be a great architect). This was out First design studio ever. And the daughter of a famous architect who was our fellow classmate said: “Oh, so we’re already making predictions on who’s going to succeed or fail in this profession based on this exercise?” I guess for me it was a lesson in humility. Nothing more.

go to a beach. get them to build a sand castle that won't be washed away. they have to build it low enough that the surf is a constant problem for them.

Not from architecture school, but you could check out Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies cards. Each card has a suggestion to inspire lateral thinking. Meant for music I think, but they are broad enough to apply to many creative processes.

What are some of the exercises that were given to you in architecture school to stimulate problem solving? I’m an architecture professor and I’m trying to make my students think outside the box and stimulate design thinking and problem based learning. What are some of the dynamics your architecture professors implemented when you were still in school?

The one “problem solving” project I did in my third semester was designing a house for someone who has a disability. Blind, amputee, etc. I’m pretty sure Google may think I or someone in my family is going blind. The restriction was it had to use Shipping containers as modules. I hate projects that use shipping containers for a litany of reasons, but it’s a good exercise to use as it also gets you thinking about structure. Most kids, I found, in architecture school know almost nothing about structure. This could be an interesting intro to structure. Because you have to make sure that if you cut out the wall of a shipping container, you support the ceiling. I used 8’ OC for supports on the long wall of the container. Or basically however wide your container/module is. We were able to use anything we wanted to present, so some kids used Revit, some kids drew it. I think one kid drew it in MS Paint. There’s a bunch of ways you can swing this. Doesn’t even have to be a disabled person. Could just be one or two people and you must use 4 containers or something. As much as it pains me to say it, shipping containers as modules is a great way to get kids thinking about structure. Make sure you don’t lead them to believe this is an eco friendly way of housing people. I can provide you some resources on why they are not. Story for a different time though. I enjoyed this project though as I am really looking to go into residential/light commercial architecture.
Hold a brick up with toothpicks - interesting to see how some students would concentrate toothpicks in one area to create a column-like structure, while others would create a matrix of individual toothpicks to spread the load over many points. The best designs were the ones that utilized the qualities of the brick (holes,texture, angles) to hold the brick up. Some students created structures in which the brick is ‘suspended’ in a structure somewhere between the bottom and top as another element in the design of something greater.

Introduce a site with very clear resources and information. When they’re halfway through the design, flip the script on them. Maybe the N arrow is flipped, a topo map is introduced, a boring log comes in with a high water table, etc. Then, have them analyze their work with the new information. Do they keep it, redesign, or start from scratch?

Hey, Porfs: great question! I wrote a response to another thread that recalled my early experiences in first year (Sophomore) design studio. I’ll find it and add the link here. One project that stands out to me: 1. We were asked to design a bridge that could span 3’ and hold a 5lb brick. The trick was, it could only weigh less than a pound. One guy designed this slightly curved geo-desic or triangular framed span of balsa wood that he wrapped in 2-3 layers of butter paper. It weighed like 30 oz, if I’m not mistaken. I knew he’d solved the problem. I, on the other hand, worked diligently building a traditional truss frame with vertical members as well (for redundancy). Mine was also made of balsa wood. And the top of it was a thin 2” strip of balsa wood. On final crit day, all 6 studios (about 180 students) stood on the 3-story staircase and balcony overlooking the second stair landing where each of us had to stand and face the “great white throne of judgment:” would our bridges hold or fold? Well, most of them either torqued or broke. But most of them twisted. That’s what mine did. I didn’t want to let mine go. All the guys kept yelling: “Let it go! Don’t hold it! It’s going to work!” It felt like an eternity. Then, finally, I let go and my bridge failed. It twisted and the brick fell. I felt so embarrassed and humiliated. Back in our smaller studio, one guy said of the guy who’s bridge held: “Chris (not his real name) is going to be a great architect). This was out First design studio ever. And the daughter of a famous architect who was our fellow classmate said: “Oh, so we’re already making predictions on who’s going to succeed or fail in this profession based on this exercise?” I guess for me it was a lesson in humility. Nothing more.

Introduce a site with very clear resources and information. When they’re halfway through the design, flip the script on them. Maybe the N arrow is flipped, a topo map is introduced, a boring log comes in with a high water table, etc. Then, have them analyze their work with the new information. Do they keep it, redesign, or start from scratch?

Kent State University in Kent, Ohio USA Their program is accredited and more technical compared to what I've heard from talking to my coworkers with equal experience. It's a bachelor's of science vs of arts. I feel like it gave me an advantage in understanding construction and passive design, but I can't keep up with architectural theory talk in the office. I'm still happy with the technical focus but that might not be your jam. Though the masters I got from there was more focused on theory. I just wish I put more effort into retaining it. The two programs are meant to go together as a 5 year program so it balances out in the end.

Kent State University in Kent, Ohio USA Their program is accredited and more technical compared to what I've heard from talking to my coworkers with equal experience. It's a bachelor's of science vs of arts. I feel like it gave me an advantage in understanding construction and passive design, but I can't keep up with architectural theory talk in the office. I'm still happy with the technical focus but that might not be your jam. Though the masters I got from there was more focused on theory. I just wish I put more effort into retaining it. The two programs are meant to go together as a 5 year program so it balances out in the end.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Michael Graves School of Public Architecture at Kean University, honestly if you have no background architecture and kinda an under achiever in high school this is a great school. I knew nothing about architecture but still wanted to pursue, they will hold you hand throughout the first year and assumes every incoming student knows nothing. The faculty is great to you have professors that have/currently teach at Yale, Pratt and Columbia. For a D3 school the Dean of Architecture had some good connections to being people in. I think of the 18 of us that started 14 graduated? But we were the inaugural class I assume it’s going to be getting tougher each year.

I knew nothing about architecture but still wanted to pursue, they will hold you hand throughout the first year and assumes every incoming student knows nothing. The faculty is great to you have professors that have/currently teach at Yale, Pratt and Columbia. For a D3 school the Dean of Architecture had some good connections to being people in. I think of the 18 of us that started 14 graduated? But we were the inaugural class I assume it’s going to be getting tougher each year.

which school did you go to? basically what the title says. I’m still looking for colleges that have architecture programs and was curious about what schools people have attended.
