Architectural education is the last remaining form of synthetic and self-generative pedagogical processes we have in higher education, meaning that students are asked to generate rather than regurgitate knowledge. How is this core strength vital to the future of the city?
The process requires the integration of large quantities of information into realized designs. What skills and thought processes will the architects of the future need to contend with broad questions of useful buildings, environmental degradation, economic stagnation, and social inequity? How are we educating our students to think critically about the future of the city and the buildings which define it habitability and value?
Due to architectural education’s self-generative process, it is essential that we teach students to be responsible for the work they produce. The current spate of articles appearing in newspapers and journals points to an absence of professional responsibility in the field. How do we teach our students to be financially responsible for their clients’ budget and to be better stewards of the existing context by not designing estranged iconic objects? How does this relate to the life cycle of buildings and sustainability?
