Harvard's GSD and the Macintosh

18 Nov 99.

Recently a Harvard student wrote in to share with us how the Graduate School of Design uses Macintosh computers, in addition to PC-compatibles. The Harvard GSD is one of the most prestigious schools in the world for architecture, urban design, planning, landscape architecture, and architectural history and theory -- at the graduate and doctoral level.

June-Hao Hou, who is at the GSD studying computer technology as it relates to "project web portals" and CAD technology wrote in to tell us this about Macs at the GSD:

"I'm writing to let you know that although over 2/3 students in the GSD are using PC's, the director and staffs of the Computer Resources Group in the GSD are always trying hard to keep Mac-PC in balance.

Our public Internet kiosks are iMacs. About 10 new Blue & White Power Macs as graphic workstations since September. Half of the public computers are Macs. Half of the Video/Multimedia workstations are also Macs. Most of the in-school software are in PC/Mac versions. Windows Network and AppleTalk are well organized and managed."

June-Hao also mentioned to us about using Mac OS X Server for possible server functions (future?) And then there is the possibility of wireless AirPort technology. Being in the neighborhood, almost literally (BritasMedia is in Cambridge), Architosh hopes to make a visit to the GSD in the near future to learn more about how Macs and PC's live together equally at Harvard.

Special Thanks to June-Hao Hou for sharing this with us.
