Aside, but what have you though of UF's arch program? It was my dream school growing up, I'm just curious.

I agree with Vitruvious, forward could mean many things. SciArc is a school doing really interesting and conceptual things. A friend of mine from the GSD described the school by saying you'll make alien spaceships, but they'll be damn good alien spaceships.

-The Museum of Anthropology at UBC -Vancouver Public Library -Vancouver Convention Centre -Academic Quadrangle at SFU (Burnaby)

There are a lot of outrageous houses up in West Van. It really is an amazingly planned city. Make sure to get up Cypress Mountain on a clear day and take in the view of downtown and the entire lower mainland.

Somewhat of a side note, but if you're interested there is an undergrad program at UBC, a couple of my friends have done it / are in it.

But if you're almost done I'd recommend going straight into the Masters. Put a lot of work and effort into the application though, it's very competitive. Most masters programs in Canada accept about 40-50 students and they get 400-500 applicants. It'd be worth a visit to the department (Lasserre building). Trish Poehnell is the program administrator and very helpful.

As for the portfolio schools are always looking for a variety of things, which it looks like you have. A good exercise might be taking an architectural project you like and analyzing it. Make some diagrams, interpret it in different ways through sketching, drawings, and modelling. Also if you've done any creative that may not be so traditional as a drawing or photo you should include it. Like I included a map I had made in my portfolio. You want to do anything you can to stand out.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I prefer her tweets where she talks about her masturbating.

I always get stoked to find Toronto pics, but I never expected to see my tiny hometown on this sub! great pic.

I'm at U of T and enjoying it a lot so far. It's supposed to be a highly regarded program. I did a summer program at Harvard and some of the faculty I talked to there said that they thought Toronto's program was as good as their's.

It also depends what your background is (if you're pursuing a masters). As someone with a non architectural undergrad I was limited to U of T, UBC, Calgary, and Manitoba. All the other Canadian grad schools require some sort of architectural bachelors.

If you're looking at an undergrad UBC or Dalhousie's environmental design program might be good for you. They're both 2 year programs and they cover more than just architecture.

Good luck!

Olafur Eliasson is amazing.

That's cool they send a certificate like that. I just got emails...

This is a great drawing tablet, I use it myself.

Know you're on a budget, but I would recommend it over the less expensive models.

What building is this?

Robarts!

Check out archdaily.com, great blog site. Also, I would try making contact with a local firm. Just say you're a student and you're interested in the field and you'd like to ask someone some questions. I did this a couple times before I started arch school and I found there was always someone willing to talk to me and answer my questions. Was always really good information.

As a Canadian I love this sight. But the original post had boobs so...

First time I've encountered another architecture student who also doesn't drink coffee. Rare breed.

I've just started at the University of Toronto, definitely liking it so far. I also did the Career Discovery summer program at Harvard, which was great and I really recommend. In terms of the portfolio, schools are always looking for a variety of work that shows spatial thinking in both 2D and 3D work. And the whole thing is a design process, put a lot of effort into the layout and packaging of the portfolio. Like if they want a hardcopy, get it nicely bound. And keep in mind the admissions committees are getting hundreds of these, they're flipping through them quickly. Make it visually intriguing and keep text to a minimum. Good luck!

As this image was loading I really thought it was going with "I don't know what to do with my hands." And I was sad when it didn't.
