- 12/18/07 1 How to Make Technical Courses More Relevant I believe that almost all students of architecture enter school wanting to acquire a broad technical competence in structures, materials and methods of construction, and environmental control systems of buildings. They want to learn to design elegant structures like those of Santiago Calatrava. They want to learn to use materials as creatively as Renzo Piano does. They want to become masters of daylighting and natural heating ad cooling.
