It is a well-known fact that 99% of architecture schools are about making students follow a particular set of tastes we call “modernism” - an ideology that states that buildings need to be innovative, that traditional methods should be neglected. It favors minimalist forms, neglects art forms like ornament, idealizes the “genius architect”, and favors “modern” materials like concrete.

If you don’t follow this stream, more often than not you will get bad grades or fail tests.

Some people said “architecture is not about education, it is about entering a cult”.
