So, what actually helped me in the my first two years of architecture school? Here's a quick retrospective list of things that I was influenced by and that helped me survive a crazy life at DAAP...
5. Movies: for perspective, entertainment, and inspiration
Momento
Metropolis
Run Lola Run
8 1/2
Pi
Sketches of Frank Gehry
Brazil
12 Angry Men
Babette's Feast
Cremaster (seriously, it's the craziest movie I've ever seen)
6. Architecture websites: places for inspiration and news!
Dezeen
ArchDaily
Daily Dose of Architecture
Death by Architecture
Green Design

7. Student groups and organizations: for community, networking, professionalism, and friendship

Alpha Rho Chi

8. Software: good tools for getting digital work accomplished

I certainly don't know enough about every single one of these topics, but that's probably what the next two years of school are for, eh? I'll post a second list of Memorable things on Wednesday
