Why do we have practical training subjects in architecture schools? In particular to be done traditionally as a "year out" course after the 3rd year and before the M Arch or 4th year. I found the experience an essential part of learning and gaining confidence, and believe that at least 6 months and better still, a year of practical training having a certain role in an architecture company would be the best way to learn. This podcast centred on what makes a good practical training experience for the student of architecture.© 2022 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobPhoto (artwork): " Site Visit in 2020-21 with the 2nd year students at Jalan Tiong Nam, KL area" by Naziaty Mohd Yaacob
