Razor Cuts, Parking Tickets, and the Perfect Model: the Life of the Architecture Student

To the Editor:

When I was the director of the American Institute of Architects' Intern/Associate Program and the Intern Development Program, I heard many complaints from interns and practicing architects about architectural education ("The 'Insane Little Bubble of Nonreality' That Is Life for Architecture Students," June 29). When I was with the A.I.A., we sponsored programs at conventions on professional-development issues: finding a job, effective communication, business ethics.
