A laptop for architecture school is the most likely type of investment an architecture student will make as opposed to a desktop PC – we’re constantly on the go, we need something that can be easily transported, and we need a computer to work on when the computer lab is full, to work in studio or home, or the library. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of having a bulky “PC Replacement” that just failed on me constantly.

Getting a Laptop for Architecture School

Things to Look for in a PC for Architecture School!
Having a PC in addition to your laptop is
definitely valuable for architecture school. Heck, some students would actually bring their PC
to studio and lock it down...or assume that their peers and the security
locks to the building and studio will be okay =S. I know how it feels
to look for a computer...and believe me, I still struggle with knowing what is
best and I would go to my friends for help during the search.

Computers + Architecture School
![]() |
More and more students today have access to a laptop. For architecture schools, this has not only transformed the way we work as students, it has also transformed the studio environment physically. Goodbye drafting tables with mayline rule and green mat and say hello to generic desks and uncomfortable, pedestrian office chairs!

Mental Health Awareness for the Architecture Student.
In August 2012, I was a guest post on Life of an Architect for this entry on mental health awareness and studio culture. I believe that this is an important topic for those struggling and gives hope to other architecture students out there to get help from professional counselling services in order to be your best in studio.

Perspectives on The Life of an Architecture Student
There are two videos that I have found that portray the life of an architecture student -
I found this insteresting - two different views with a different tone painting different images that. Not bashing either, just seeing the differences and commonalities is interesting.

The Almighty All-Nighter (Part II)
The Almighty All-Nighter: not necessary, but it is inevitable. For others, necessary in architecture school. They are stressful and unhealthy, and yet we are proud to boast of our 3 to 4 night marathon. (Even friends in architecture school were concerned of a lot of my late nights when I hit a 2nd night in a row). I've seen students that have come up with the best stuff and worked the graveyard shift to have stellar projects, and I've seen students that are not able to make the most of the extra hours deeming it in vain.

The Almighty All-nighter (Part I)
Come to the first year studios of my school, the space is cluttered with the graffiti of architecture students past. One can’t help the spray painted
message on the broken window: SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK! The All-Nighter is no
stranger to architecture students whether you try to avoid it or not.
