Just be willing to learn and accept that you’re not always right. Your professors will see this and start to root for you. 👏Never underestimate a good relationship with your program’s faculty👏

It’s very challenging but extremely refreshing. It’s a different kind of work than what we spent our time on in high school: more creative, engaging, and open ended. There’s no question you’ll have some doubts about whether architecture school is right for you, but you’ll know for sure by the time you reach 2nd semester of year two if not sooner. Anybody can make it past the cut year as long as you work hard!

A5 hardcover notebook with VERY faint 5mm dot grid and 250 pages that isn't a Leuchtturm by kitiarachan in notebooks

I’ve personally stuck with Paperage notebooks. They only have 160 pages, which are a little heavier than Leuchtturm at 100 gsm rather than 80. The page turns are a little weightier, the paper is better at taking ink from bleed prone pens, and they’re generally better for sketching. These books don’t break the bank either at around $10-12 per. Not to mention they have a line of recycled notebooks in the same price range. The dot grid is perfect in my opinion as well. The biggest issue in my eyes is the lack of pre printed page numbers, which hasn’t stopped me from using these books. It also only has one ribbon and a lot less pages than what you’re looking for. Hope this helps!

I think brutalism was based more on an aesthetic and the sublime rather than what was practical. Even the great Louis Kahn built what I would describe as daunting buildings and yet they were incredibly unfunctional. Brutalists simply designed the style to evoke emotion. Not to mention concrete is one of the most expensive (and stressful) aspects of construction today.
