VIRTUAL: Applying Education
Abstract
The aim is to discuss a key issue in contemporary architecture and education: the ways that studio teaching, and more broadly architectural design, can be understood in light of the rapid changes in the way we perceive and understand architecture. The focus will on three main topics: Practicing skills versus the discovery of new knowledge and A linear versus ‘open source’ process. Most schools teach and practice more or less the same linear studio stages even if the order and combination of years is different. We will try to clarify and address the gradual progress to which we are accustomed and the difference between solving architectural project, and reformulate the project process, in a sense of modifying the way of thinking. Interaction between Academia and Practice. Meaningful professional dialog is necessary in our time which characterized by society growing conflict and uncertainty. One should ask what kinds of interaction exist between academia and practice, and what sets architectural research apart from classical scientific research. The Problems defining the act of creation. The way we perform our work may be a decision-making process, in which there are always- to some extent- an intuitive dimension, how can we relates to this issue in architectural education. The purpose of the lecture and the article that will follow will try to clarify these issues and how they can affect architecture education.
