Comments on: Is it possible to become an architect without a degree in architecture like Tadao Ando? If so, how? http://architecturelife.com/2008/10/23/is-it-possible-to-become-an-architect-without-a-degree-in-architecture-like-tadao-ando-if-so-how/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:43:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Ta'fxkz http://architecturelife.com/2008/10/23/is-it-possible-to-become-an-architect-without-a-degree-in-architecture-like-tadao-ando-if-so-how/#comment-423 Ta'fxkz Sat, 25 Oct 2008 17:45:23 +0000 http://architecturelife.com/2008/10/23/is-it-possible-to-become-an-architect-without-a-degree-in-architecture-like-tadao-ando-if-so-how/#comment-423 Architecture is like music. You have to engage with patterns and technique until you can put your own patterns and techniques together. Formal education helps but if you want to do it your way nobody can stop you. Since you already have experience in drawing and drafting on Auto CAD you need to understand the science that goes in to the back end of the same. Working with a good Architect will help if you can find somebody who will impart hard earned knowledge, but if you do not find that a good book and some lessons will not hurt.
