Maryland architecture school was a complete waste of money and time…simply an awful school led by stuck up charlatan professors with little to no building experience who love teaching outdated rhetoric about greek and roman temples…and LeCorbusier. This is the limit of their collective knowledge. The faculty is a low level collection of 3rd-rate post-modern architects who haven't even built anything worth noting in their entire lives.

Brian Kelly is a complete joke of an architect. A sniveling worm with a napoleonic complex which is rivaled only by his lack of talent and his pseudo-intellectual eye-glasses.

Maryland architecture is a total joke. The faculty is a joke.

Notice how much talent they put out in the professional world…none.

Avoid maryland's architecture school and head to a real institute of learning. THEY WILL NOT PREPARE YOU FOR THE REAL WORLD.
