In this engaging episode, Jonathan and Ethan delve into their experiences of hosting "taster days" for high school students interested in architectural technology. A "taster day" provides these students with a brief yet informative look into what studying and working in architectural technology entails. While Jonathan and Ethan have traditionally focused on drawing techniques and CAD software during these sessions, Jonathan recently experimented with a new approach aimed at demonstrating the practical and aesthetic outcomes of architectural work.
Jonathan introduced a fresh angle by utilizing slideshows of impressive architectural projects to spark interest among the students. Meanwhile, Ethan stuck with the traditional approach, emphasizing manual drawing techniques and the use of scale rulers, ensuring students grasp foundational skills. The episode touches upon the challenge of making technical and less glamorous aspects of the profession, such as learning building codes, engaging to students. They conclude by hinting at future discussions on the impact of AI on architecture and the different educational paths available in the field.
