Awesome professor. Genuinely cares about you as a student, inspiring, knows what he is talking about. Talks a little too much, but he is just being thorough. Attendance is key.

Solid. Has good architectural background and is willing to help students success in the course. Usually no harsh critiques during reviews unless you do pretty bad. The class is inspiring and attendance is a must if you want to do well.

Comment:
One of the studio professors that seem more interesting in teaching architecture than merely talking about it. Critiq was clear and on point, but also highly considerate of each student's own work styles and inspirations. Fluid studio organization makes his class both manageable and comfortable. No bs or wild divergence from syllabus expectations.

Nice guy, but absolutely terrible professor. Should not be teaching, let alone directing the undergraduate program.

This professor shouldn't be teaching, nor designing anything. He should just stay at home...or doing crappy architecture (as he does now...) but for a simple hobby. He is stupid, lazy and worst of all, he is not interested in what he does.

Is unavailable for consultation, and very unwilling to look at students' work and give feedback. Super discouraging. Has an amazing memory. Always will not reply emails.
