Difficulties of sequence which originate in architectural education

Most present-day architects like talking about construction, but are afraid of construction tools, and have little feeling for them. In many cases, getting their hands dirty scares them. In order to protect their trade, they refuse to allow the students to work on construction sites, because they want to force the students to be like them. But, later on, once the students have left the school, it is too late for the students to do anything about it.
This is a drastic problem — almost of the “you can’t get there from here” variety. Here the processes of our existing society are so entrenched, that it is not even easy to visualize how a person can make the jump, or find a bridge, to a newer and more living process.
