Nope, it does not. In my college (state school) I had professors that taught at Ivy league schools, as well as my own. What matters most in your time in architecture school is your classmates, because they will be the one's that will more likely than not, be helping you during your career. Try to make as many friends as possible, because they will be the ones who will help you to find a job in their firm or serve as a reference toward another job opportunity or even a client.
Renzo Piano did not go to the Ivy league schools, but he went to Polytechnic University of Milan. The school is one of the best schools in Europe. I agree with that the Ivy league does not prove a success. Especially, Ivy leages schools has sought an equity policy and accepted too many students (100+ for only M.Arch1) for money. Under this condition, students without good skills and knowledges are packed in the school. Of course, there are absolutely amazing students. However, an educational degree, which is same as the Ivy league school's level in other country, is almost madatorily required. Ando Tadao is EXTREMELY special case. As you may know, most of influential architects went to the AA, ETH, TU Delft, École d'architecture, Tokyo Univ, and UPC. Plus, clients usually want smarter (better education) people (architects).
Hi Munkhzul. I think I answered this question on another video but in case you don't see the answer, I'm copying it here too. In terms of working in the field of architecture you don't really need Physics (just an understanding of the basics). Along with basic Math skills as well. If you are applying into architecture school I would double check the admission requirements since I remember when I applied for my undergrad I needed physics and mathematics (grade 12). Now this depends on the program. For example University of Waterloo undergrad program requires physics and mathematics. Here's a link to their website for reference (see admission process) uwaterloo.ca/architecture/future-undergraduate-students I hope this helps.
Yes I agree the school doesn't determine your success and future. Thank your insightful advice
exactly ❤
Thank you Ashley, your video sums it up - "Experience is the greatest teacher"
Hi Sean! Exactly!

Does your GPA matter though?
Do I need physics to become an architect?
