Download or read book 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School written by Matthew Frederick and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-08-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation, from the basics of “How to Draw a Line” to the complexities of color theory. This is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language things that tend to be murky and abstruse in the classroom. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation—from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory—provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy, making concrete what too often is left nebulous or open-ended in the architecture curriculum. Each lesson utilizes a two-page format, with a brief explanation and an illustration that can range from diagrammatic to whimsical. The lesson on "How to Draw a Line" is illustrated by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on the dangers of awkward floor level changes shows the television actor Dick Van Dyke in the midst of a pratfall; a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and modern buildings features a drawing of a building split neatly in half between the two. Written by an architect and instructor who remembers well the fog of his own student days, 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School provides valuable guideposts for navigating the design studio and other classes in the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates—from young designers to experienced practitioners—will turn to the book as well, for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving a complex design problem.

Download or read book What Should Schools Teach written by Alka Sehgal Cuthbert and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of school curriculums involves deep thought about the nature of knowledge and its value to learners and society. It is a serious responsibility that raises a number of questions. What is knowledge for? What knowledge is important for children to learn? How do we decide what knowledge matters in each school subject? And how far should the knowledge we teach in school be related to academic disciplinary knowledge? These and many other questions are taken up in What Should Schools Teach? The blurring of distinctions between pedagogy and curriculum, and between experience and knowledge, has served up a confusing message for teachers about the part that each plays in the education of children. Schools teach through subjects, but there is little consensus about what constitutes a subject and what they are for. This book aims to dispel confusion through a robust rationale for what schools should teach that offers key understanding to teachers of the relationship between knowledge (what to teach) and their own pedagogy (how to teach), and how both need to be informed by values of intellectual freedom and autonomy. This second edition includes new chapters on Chemistry, Drama, Music and Religious Education, and an updated chapter on Biology. A revised introduction reflects on emerging discourse around decolonizing the curriculum, and on the relationship between the knowledge that children encounter at school and in their homes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At 42, my life makes more sense in the rear-view mirror with the path I took and the choices I made clearly laid out in my memory. Projections of the future are so much harder and so far less accurate. Especially through the lens of a 23 year old projecting what life would look like at 42. It took my being fired in 2012 to begin the journey of true self-discovery but took many more years to fully appreciate what I was. My friends and family had suspicions early on, of course, and knew it long before I did. By the time I discovered it, they had long since accepted me, supported me and were just as relieved as I was when at long last, I realized.....I'm an entrepreneur. Now, there are some who like to think they are entrepreneurs, and they are absolutely not. There are some who believe they are "big company" people, and they too are absolutely not. To help accelerate your journey, I have designed a deep and 100% accurate questionnaire:Step 1. Find a friend.Step 2. Ask them: "Am I an entrepreneur?"Step 3. Trust their judgment.This book is for both the entrepreneur and the employee; the people whose career journey took a different path than they expected and who are right where they thought they would be (even though we both know they are lying).
