<p>worm, Assuming that you are not planning to go directly from high school into a professional architecture program (the bachelors of architecture or B.Arch), then I wouldn’t worry too much about your aptitude for architecture. You’ll have some time to take art courses, CAD courses, maybe a summer architecture program or an internship. By the time you get ready to apply to graduate school you’ll feel more confident.</p>
<p>Again, I’d concentrate on finding an undergraduate school that FITS you. Don’t focus exclusively on whether it does or does not have a defined architecture studies program. Most likely you – like most undergrads – will change your major once or twice in the next few years. What you won’t change is your personality so make sure that your list reflects what you like in environment and teaching style.</p>
<p>Some architecture programs are more computer driven than others. Some involve a lot of drawing, some do not. The key balance that you’ll want to achieve in your portfolio is between creativity and technique.</p>
<p>My son was an art studio / art history major at Williams and just this week he’s started his M.Arch at Cornell. Please let me know if I can provide any more specific information.</p>
