Archdaily recently published a list of the "101 Things I Didn't Learn in Architecture School", which will instantly humour anyone who has spent a night in the studio. While you can find the full list here, I'd like to highlight a few of my favourites.
3] Do not drink at work and especially do not get toasted around your colleagues under any circumstances.
14] Go home to your family.
(As I've learned, iPhone's can be used to remind you to do this.)
19] Do not, however, ask for two monitors. Even though it makes you look like a bad-ass you will be expected to do twice the amount of work.
43] If you are invited to be on a jury, don’t trash the student just to make yourself look good or to contradict a rival on the jury. Be constructive and try to help the student. This is the point.
47] Don’t be a Typhoid Mary. When sick, stay home.
62] Architects who do not build things also have important things to say and should be listened to.
67] Read Rem Koolhaas, but do not obsess and fantasize about being him. Delirious New York is still relevant.
82] Always back up your hard drive.
(instructions)
98] Architecture is cliquish.
