Bootcamp (Summer 2018)
Before starting the first semester of the three-year Master of Architecture program at USC, all students did a mandatory 3 week "bootcamp" or speed-course on design and various computer programs used for presenting work, as well as model making and plotting the drawings, which can turn out to take some time as well!
For me this bootcamp really helped me letting go of my engineer-way of thinking; design can absolutely benefit, but also get quickly get stuck in constraints that come with the knowledge about physics and rules. This is something I really needed to let go of and loosen up about.
