Volume 6 Issue 1 - Affecting Change in Architectural Education Architecture concerns not so much an explicit body of transmittable knowledge and protocols as it does a set of implicit understandings, sensitivities and sensibilities. The education of an architect therefore concerns the mission of endowing candidates with those implicit traits. In any unresolved complex of space, material and form, architects grasp a unique essence in how they perceive the “happily ever after” of what it might be and how that vision might be made whole and concrete. The problem however is that this mismatch of architecture-as-topic with education-as-medium has left the compound verb of architectural-education stuck in a self-referential, unreflective, and self-satisfied state. |
