This rings very true about the many architecture students I have met. I spent a lot of time hanging about the architecture school, dropped in on lectures/debates and such. Dont think I have ever met one who really even had a "gift" for it. Every single one of them represented why mass/modern architecture in this country is so awful. In function and innovation but even aesthetics.
Everyone just churns out dull clichés, no attention to detail at all. I am sure they had grand notions of becoming some kind of wizard shaping the built environment of the future with fantastic solutions that would inspire and improve society. But really, none of them are. Instead they become "the problem" the very reason why things suck.
