okey, thanks very much
but the problem is that the program of ryerson is NOT acredited by the canadian board, and i'm not interested in doing a program that being acomplished it, u can't practice because the canadian board doesn't acredit your studies. Now, may be this isn't true but i heard that in other forums.
The problem that i have is that each single school does the program in a different way, so thank you very much because now i have more clue about UofT because precisely that's what i don't want(history...books).
Now, i'm a little bit dessperate, because i came here to Canada to study architecture. I was admited in a small college of architecture in montreal, just as a preparation of one year(learn english...) but they told me that the courses will start in january, and i'm thinking of going back to my country(Spain) to study, because i don't know if here i'm gonna find the architecture that i'm looking for.

"Ideas" seperate architecture from building
"technology" is merely engineering
Architecture can't be taught, is a self-learning process
U toronto has brilliant resourses, faculty members and visiting architects (ex. daniel libeskind, preston scott cohen, just to name a few)
UT 1st year theory course takes 300 ppl, only 25 of them make their way to the 4rth year specialist program, which u will have intense design studio, theory and tech courses. I was fortunate to be one of them.
Come if your are dedicated.
ps. tech changes but no one can takes ur cultivated design stretegy.

@ Jarch: i was wondering for U of T when applying do you have to apply to the arts and sciences? and then take the arachitectural courses?
because i asked a person at the uni fair and they told me that you can apply to M arch after four years upon completeing you arts and sciences. is that true? |

Great nickname, there is a place in Kerrisdale called Shota Sushi that makes the craziest sushi. I've head great things abt ENDS since i'm from UBC myself. Environmental Design is very labor intensive and lots of books to read, but you learn a lot. (thats all i know) |

| yes, the U toronto arch is a colleberation programm by the Faculty of architecture, arts and science. First year is a general survey course, Real architectural design starts at the second yr. but they only takes 30 ppl. I know lots of ppl who couldnt get in the second year end up doing fine arts , geography and stuff...... |

I can't say that I know too much about the UC program, but I'm finishing my undergrad at UofM and can say that it's a solid program. And you wouldn't feel out of place since about a third of our class is from AB.
UofM is definitely a more theoretical program than most (so I've been told) but that's ok because they teach how to be a good designer, ie. how to operate a proper design process. As one person has already said, an architect designs and engineers build. I know some would disagree with that broad generalization, but once you know some basic concepts of building (structure, envelope, etc) it's the theoretical aspects of design that separate architects.
The undergrad program is in a bit of a slow evolution at the moment, but don't let that discourage you.... it's still a fantastic program. I know some recent undergraduates working in the same firms doing the same work as masters graduates from Dalhousie, Carleton, and Mcgill. Take that for what it's worth. Ultimately, each school focuses more on either the pragmatic (Dal) or theoretical (UM) aspects of design so it's really up to you to do your homework and figure out where you'd be more comfortable.
Also, design school - just about wherever you go - is what you make of it. If you put your heart and soul into it, it'll show. |

Hi ,
This is a comparsion of Dalhousie University and Uof Manitoba undergrad architecture school. City wise and educational wise , Uof Manitoba is a better quality school. It is better in that it is cheaper, better quality of work produced by the students, the city has more examples of architecture building to study from.
Winnipeg though cold will provide the student seeking to go there with more options in funding their education.
Dalhousie University in Halifax, is a poorer school and so will be highly expensive to fund. They have NO SCHOLARSHIP OR BURSARY FOR student who want it or NEED IT. The quality of work produced by the students though good are rather similar to each other. The professor are rather disorganized and sometimes do things on the fly. So your projects are not thought of in advance by the professor.
I have been to the UofManitoba Enviromental Design program and notice the work produced by the student's are more creative, and better crafted. It is a bigger city and will provide you with better access to material when you do need to buy it. I mean there is more than one store to buy your materials from. Halifax is rather small and will have ONLY ONE STORE WHERE YOU CAN BUY YOUR materials from. Thus , you will be digging deep to pay for your materials as there is no other store to go too!
Note: I have been to UofM and Dalhousie, so these are my personal observation of the two University. |

Jarch,
for uoft architecture for the undergraduate architectural studies program, why cant many people advance to second year and onwards? is it really difficult or is there a mark requirement? and if ure in the program how would you say it is, and is it possible that it makes it easier to get into architecture at uof t MARch if ure in that undergraduate program? |

Has anyone ever been to U of C? or UBC? How were they? and how high were the marks to get accepted?
Thanks |

For the UT part, I would say yes. Now im just suffering from the book oriented arc...sigh... = =

RYERSON hands down
I went to UofT for a few years and have alot of negative things to say about its arch program
1st- its not design oriented at all - its book/history oriented. u dont always learn stuff relative to the practice of architecture
how much studio time do they recieve? less time in 4 years than a ryerson student recieves in 1 year...
Only thing i hate about ryerson - is they havent given me a single transfer credit.. im basicly 1st year ... im trying to fight it
Oh and ryerson is tuff- 1st year (Sept-oct25th) ive pulled 4 all nighters thus far - (staying in the arch studio drafting all night untill the next morning and then go to class!!)
Best schools in ontario Waterloo and ryerson
followed by Carleton - i hear there going downhill - (nice place though, campus is amazing in my oppinion) |
