# Architecture Education Graphics ArchDaily Looks at the State of Architecture Education Today By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-11-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-education References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/450372/infographic-architecture-education-today/) ArchDaily’s ‘Architecture Education Today’ graphic was created in response to ‘America’s Best Architecture & Design Schools’ as named by Design Intelligence. This infographic looks beyond the rankings of the schools named the top US Architecture schools and at the state of architecture education today. The ArchDaily infographic is broken down into three sections about renewed enthusiasm in architecture education, what practices are hoping to see from grads and LEED vs. sustainability. The last section is particularly interesting, since this shows some of the best architecture schools that are committed to the practice of creating sustainable buildings for the future. Even though Design Intelligence had the University of Oregon listed as the number three school for sustainability education, it yields the highest number of LEED-accredited students. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Renewed Enthusiasm in Architecture Education:** Opportunity for creating innovative programs that attract and engage students in new and exciting ways. - **Focus on Sustainability and LEED Certification:** Opportunity to develop disruptive technology and methodologies that will reduce the environmental impact of the built environment. - **Alignment of Graduate Skills with Industry Expectations:** Opportunity for developing unique programs that develop interdisciplinary skills critical for success in the industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture Education:** Opportunity for educational institutions to adapt and innovate in response to changing industry demands. - **Architecture and Design Firms:** Opportunity to leverage interdisciplinary skills of graduates to develop sustainable and innovative design solutions. - **Green Building and Sustainability Consulting:** Opportunity to develop innovative technologies and methodologies for achieving sustainable building design and LEED certification. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Educational Architecture Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-educational-architecture.md) - [Education Architecture Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-international-school.md) - [Traditional Sustainable School Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universidad-ean-1.md) - [Architectural Reference Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architectural-resource.md) - [Biodiversity Architectural Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-archischool.md) - [Timber Research Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthony-timberlands.md) - [Modern Blue-Accented Academic Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-esther-pavilion.md) - [AI Tool Youth Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youth-archidesign-competition.md) - [Leaf-Shaped Rooftop Schools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiv-nader-school.md)
