The book examines the current issues in architectural education in both countries and the way forward. Solutions to the current problems encountered by the governing architectural education authorities in both countries are carefully highlighted after a research was done. The quality of architectural education should have direct impact on the architectural product of that society. The architectural education of any nation should be a weapon for physical development. Architectural education and practice are experiencing a shift of Interdisciplinary characterized by the coordinating, articulating and dominant role of digital technologies; therefore there is a need to upgrade the curriculum in order to fit into the current technological system. According to the most influential architectural professional body in the world, Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the education review group representing academia and practice, intends to catalyse relevant new models for architectural education to be taken forward and established by schools of architecture. This will help to push architectural education to the next level by setting a target to meet with the current societal challenges.

Book Building Community

Download or read book Building Community written by Ernest L. Boyer and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1996 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the problems and possibilities of architecture education as it has evolved in the United States and proposes a new framework for renewing architecture education and practice. In order to assess the need for reform in architecture education, students and alumni from 15 representative campuses were surveyed as to whether they would attend their School of Architecture again. Survey questions also dealt with preparation of graduates for their profession, salary expectations, reasons for entering the architecture profession, feelings about the profession, and the School of Architecture's reputation on the university campus. A model of architecture education based on seven separate but interlocking priorities was proposed: (1) an enriched mission; (2) a more inclusive institutional context based on the principle of diversity with dignity; (3) a goal of standards without standardization; (4) an architecture curriculum that is better integrated with knowledge both within and outside the architecture discipline; (5) establishment of a supportive climate for learning; (6) a more unified profession based on partnership between schools and the profession; and (7) preparation of architects for lives of civic engagement. (Contains reference notes for each chapter.) (CK)

Book The Evolving Project

Download or read book The Evolving Project written by Igor Marjanović and published by Oro Editions. This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a selection of essays from the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE) and its seventy-five-year history, this volume showcases not only the development of a single publication but also the evolution and expansion of the entire discipline. This book celebrates the rich history of the JAE which is the longest continually running peer-reviewed journal in the discipline of architecture, as a major platform for the dissemination of new pedagogical and scholarly ideas. From discourses on drawing and design processes to issues of new media and the environment, The Evolving Project is a journey in space and time that documents the changing project of architectural education after World War II--namely its transformation from a professional training ground to an intellectual platform that allowed architectural educators to boldly engage the larger social, cultural, and political issues of their time.

Book What is the Future and Vision of Architectural Education

Download or read book What is the Future and Vision of Architectural Education written by Michael Brazley and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous book of Boyer and Mitgang (1996), Building Community: A New Future for Architecture Education and Practice, has become the text for architectural education. They argue that architectural education lacked a sense of purpose in connecting the profession to the current problems of society. 'Building Community' summarizes the goals of a design education as: helping students to develop the skills and competency to work within the realities of the profession; preparing graduates to be able to adapt to the changing needs of the society; and assisting students in developing their own analytical framework to envision and build a better environment and community. Boyer and Mitgang contend that urban-based design studios through research should be addressing the real issues of our society: the destruction of community, crime, homelessness, and urban decay. They also argue that architecture schools should take a leadership role in preserving the planet's resources and environment by teaching sustainable architectural design and using 'real life' studio problems. This study examines the role of architectural studio in the post-Katrina reconstruction of the Lower 9th Ward community. Survey data found that a majority of the students developed an understanding of the urban design and sustainability, and were of the view that architectural studio should act as an advocate for underrepresented communities, and agreed that there was value in the 'interaction between studio and community'

Book Designing Buildings for the Future of Schooling

Download or read book Designing Buildings for the Future of Schooling written by Hau Ming Tse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together leading experts from the fields of architecture, design, engineering, education and the social sciences, this valuable collection presents a multidimensional understanding of the complexities and ways in which school designs influence and are influenced by educational practice. Moving beyond the long-debated question as to whether the design of a school influences pedagogic practice, chapters acknowledge the multiple and diverse ways in which teaching, learning, development and inclusion are impacted by the nature and quality of the physical environment. Considering changes in national and international policy, and exploring the changing pressures and demands on design, education and schooling more broadly, contributors rethink and re-envision those aspects of design and educational practice in which they specialise. Together, these chapters present a bold vision for the future conceptualisation, development and use of school buildings and facilities. An important contribution to debates on school design and education, inclusion and pedagogy, this is an essential and fascinating read for students, researchers, lecturers and policymakers involved in the fields of education and architecture.
