It is interesting to know how I change my mind about Bartlett. When I was studying in other university, Bartlett style was one of the style to critisize. All the works look great as a visual ,but nothing to do with architecture quality. This is what I tohught before.
Fortunately, this year, I've got some friends in Bartlett and through my friend, I started to have different opinion about this school.
Surely, in the final exhibition, they focus on the representation more than showing process of the work. So it is not easy to understand in short time. And people can create each mysterius story behind student's works.However, once I hear the real story and process of each project, it is quite understandable and clear. Though there is a limit of what to show in the exhibition, still I want to see the process in the show as well because this is the most interesting part of studying architecture.
By the way, I was quite surprised how good my friends are doing in Bartlett. Two guys who were working in our office are nominated for Silver medal prize and President's medal prize. Also my japanese friends who always hang out to parties did really great job in the end. I am sure they put so much effort on creating such a work.
