In any program of study, students are overwhelmed with assignments, studying for exams, and attending classes. Taking on extra work may not seem like a good option, but there are several benefits to consider in entering architecture student competitions.
Gaining Experience in Project Work
The assignments in any class are structured to highlight the student’s understanding of a concept. While there may be some limited creativity for the assignment, it is more essential to get the specific concepts completed to get the grade.
Through architecture student competitions, students are able to get more of a real project experience. They are given specific requirements for the project, but how they incorporate and integrate those requirements into the overall project allows them to tap into their creativity. This expands the potential for a student to experiment and fully develop a vision without the restraints imposed by a class project.
Boost Your Portfolio
The final designs from all architecture student competitions can be used in your portfolio moving forward. This sets your portfolio apart from others in your graduating class. In addition, it allows you to highlight your interest in the profession and show that you are confident enough to compete with your ideas and designs.
Build Your Brand
Getting your name out there is a significant benefit to participating in any type of architecture competition. Even if you do not win, others see your design, hear and read your name, and begin to understand your potential as a creative thinker and designer.
