Q: (Initially posted March 31, 2004) FROM STUDENT MEMBER KIM R. IN IL
Could anyone tell me what right now the most popular type of architecture
is? [Can you recommend a school of architecture or a firm that is really "hot" now in the marketplace?]

A: FROM MENTOR JOANNA L. MELDRUM IN CA
I am a Civil engineer so don't know the architecture market that well, but
my sense is that "Green Architecture" or sustainable and alternative
building practices is an emerging area that is really interesting and "hot".
I am interested in it on both a professional and personal level but don't
have that much experience with it. I'm sure there are others you could talk
to in the field though! Check out these sites for more information:
