Even though we have been studying how landscape and architecture impacts us, the reading for Monday made me think of the unimportance of landscape and architecture. Throughout my college search, I was told many times that it is not a matter of where you go, it is a matter of what you do with the education that you receive. David Orr's article, "Architecture and Education" says, "First, it tells its users that locality, knowing where you are, is unimportant. To be sure, this is not said in so many words anywhere in this or any other building. Rather, it is said tacitly throughout the entire structure." If knowing where you are is unimportant, then what is important? The education you get both by your professors and by the people who surround you is important. It is what people do with these aspects and how far they go with them that makes the real impact. I think that knowing who you are and where you want to go with your life is much more important than knowing where you are (locality).
