Nowadays, architects learn to design buildings within the walls of the studio. Rarely does any architecture school encourage actual building experience on the construction site, even if it’s a teeny-tiny structure! This is perhaps one of the major drawbacks of modern-day architectural education.
We reckon that substantial time on the construction site should be mandatory for graduation from architecture school for the following reasons:
Construction Site Gives You a Reality-Check!
Young architects have had plenty of fruitful learning experiences at school and during their internships. But are they really “architects? i.e. “the master-builders”"

Practical experiences on the site hit you hard with reality-checks over and over again. You realize that what you?ve been drawing for centuries had major gaps in construction knowledge. Hence, it is essential that you find your way onto a construction site, even if that construction site is your own land.
It Develops Your Craft Skills!
