Last fall we posted a brief survey asking people where they preferred to find their calories. Here are some of reader’s recommendations for the best places to: //
To follow up to my first post on the CoA alumni I did some research. As it turns out, there are a FEW tools out there for connecting students with alumni and MANY for helping students look for jobs – but finding them required a bit of digging and using them as an architecture student did not lend the most fruitful of results.

We want to know where you eat for certain occasions. Please let us know by filling out this survey- and in exchange we will tell you what we find out from everyone else! //
This past weekend I went up to NYC for interviews. While there I learned of three Tech grads that were working in different firms in the city - DS+R, BIG and Grimshaw – too bad I didn’t know about them before I arrived. [image courtesy of graduating class 1950] //

On thursday, a group of students from the SoA and AIAS visited two female run firms, SBS [Stanley Beaman Sears] and RWH [Richard Wittschiebe Hand]. As a female student in architecture school, it was refreshing to see female architectural leadership.

Merica May, gray_matter(s) writer/editor, interviews Ben Fry, principal of Fathom Information Design and co-developer Processing. Ben Fry recently spoke at Tech as port of the School of Architecture’s 2010 Lecture Series. Trained as a Graphic Designer and later schooled at MIT Media’s Lab, Ben Fry shares some of his thoughts about programing, design, new media, school takeaways and how he prefers his coffee. //
The School of Architecture needs more women faculty. Compared to the rest of the Accredited Colleges of Architecture and to US Universities in general the SOA has the lowest female faculty figures. //
It is interesting, but not surprising, that the COA faculty gender figures track those for profession.
COA [18% women] faculty employment is now less than Tech’s [21% women]. COA [44% women] student enrollment is more balanced than the rest of the Tech’s [29% women]. //
Of my 29 courses taken in the CoA as a graduate student, 4 have been with a female professor…. //
