Our PDX team took a tour of the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts
(which is housed in the same building that Struck will be moving into in a couple months). Here’s a list of some of the equipment they have available for their students: an experimental print center, which includes a vinyl laser cutter and a 3D printer
, a full video production room with lights, cameras and green screens, a theater for viewing movies, cinema displays with these Wacom tablets
, and that’s just what I can remember offhand.
So, my question is this: Given all the time and equipment these (or any) students have available to them, who is better prepared to respond to or predict changes in the industry? In a way, it’s the age old question of youth and energy over age and experience. Let’s hear it.
