This Wednesday, August 20, 2008, the Sundance Channel will premiere Architecture School. The docudrama follows twelve students enrolled in the Design/Build Program at Tulane University's School of Architecture as they build a sustainable, design-forward home for a family returning to New Orleans...</p>
<p>...In a nutshell: "Architecture School" tells the story of twelve idealistic architecture students who are bringing a social mission into the classroom by working with communities and populations that do not traditionally have access to architects. Although it's considered reality TV, the series was filmed more like an old school documentary told from a classic fly on the wall point-of-view. Selditch, who spent most of the time on-location, mic'd up each student while he asked questions, but took himself, as narrator, out of the final editing leaving the experiences of the team building the house, neighbor's opinions, the staff at housing services, and the life of the city to tell the story...
<p>Thanks, I don’t get the Sundance channel and couldn’t get the itunes thing to work, but the Hulu link you posted worked a charm. I’d love to see the full series.</p>
<p>I saw the full series and thought it was pretty accurate in depicting the feel of the studio environment/crits/etc, but it is really condensed (understandable). I recommend this to any HS students thinking about majoring in architecture so that’s why I thought this thread deserved a bump.</p>
<p>Be warned though that you can’t get it for free anymore. I’ve only seen the first two episodes. It brought back memories and nightmares - all that’s right and wrong about the way architecture is taught.</p>
<p>I know if you have Cox Communications cable you can go to OnDemand under the freezone and watch all 5 or however many episodes for free thats what I did.</p>
