 I would argue that this current generation of beginning students of architecture have the capacity to reshape a world like we've never seen before and it and they need to have access to as much technology and as much discourse, meaningful discourse surrounding these techniques and these tools so that they're fully prepared to go out into the world in the future to do something positive and productive. Certainly first and foremost it would be a student who's open-minded. Two, that they would be willing to take that risk. Three, that they recognize that their voice does matter and the kind of journey that they're engaged in requires an enormous amount of effort and continuous reassessment and patience. Something I always it may be a strange thing to to say but I I tell my students that it's important to fail on a continuous basis and I'm not talking about the grade. I mean it's in the spirit of risk that you have to be willing to free yourself right from again a set of preconceptions in order to get to this new place and if failing constitutes making mistakes in order to learn from these mistakes then you have achieved an enormous amount of that. I mean in fact you're only able to move forward because of this newfound knowledge. Alright. The educational experience it may begin with the construction of a syllabus and and that syllabus is part of a larger matrix of exercises as I mentioned that that phase through the five years but the truth is alongside those exercises is a culture is a community of individuals that I've always remind my students and the students within the school that some of the most important educational experiences that they're going to receive during the time they're here are discussions that take place in the middle of the night with the classmates. I mean they have made an incredible sacrifice to move away from home in in many cases to find themselves moving beyond earlier friendships and relationships they had in their in their high school years precisely because they're they're now engaged and immersed within a kind of culture of discourse and creative production that is all-consuming. I think I think thesis is invaluable I mean they're you know unlike many other pedagogical templates which guarantee a kind of success again those that are that that are constructed around the single educator in this particular case it's not that I'm not interested in the product I certainly am I want them all to try their best to be able to produce a remarkable project that is that is well conceived and and thoughtfully represented but I actually think that the journey of a thesis is invaluable and it's it's it prepares them for the world at large because when they get out there they're going to be dealing with a whole series of forces that are going to resist their poetic imagination that are going to try to compromise their creative will that are they're going to try to kind of foreground economics as the kind of soul criteria to make architecture and that's unfortunate these students are gonna have to be tough they're gonna have to be relentless they're gonna have to be strong and curious and engage on a continuous basis and I think thesis is intended to prepare them for that moment in their life
