College Preparatory Program, Introduction into Architecture
“Young people go to university with the aim of becoming architects, of finding out if they have got what it takes. What is the first thing we should teach them? [First of all, we must explain that the person standing in front of them is not someone who asks questions whose answers he already knows. Practicing architecture is asking oneself questions, finding one’s own answers with the help of the teacher, whittling down, finding solutions. Over and over again.]”
