So You Want to Be An Architect?

Teenage host Herschel Bronfman looks at a career in architecture in this snazzily produced Canadian short in which Bronfman meets with students and teachers at the University of Toronto, and tours several sites around the city. Bronfman asks questions about inspiration, follows a team as they work together on a library project, and talks about the requisites needed, such as a good degree and up to 10 years of study. Along the way, viewers see fine architectural examples during visits to the CN Tower, the private resident Integral House (meeting its co-designer Brigitte Shim), and the Aga Khan Museum. Offering an engaging behind-the-scenes look at a dream job, this is recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
