Manifesting the New Architectural Curriculum - Deliberations
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Architecture can be disrupted, like any other old and obsolete systems from the last century.
In the new world, architecture entrepreneurs in whatever form, such as academics or professionals, have in their minds, the idea of 'simplifying' the contrived and complicated systems of university accreditation and rankings among other things, obviously stifling the profession.
In this deliberation, we are trying to understand the two sides of the coin of 'architecture': head is education and tail is practice, but hang on, there is only one architecture and not 2 sides. The education part does affect the practice part. It has been said over and over again. That is why we feel that there are 2 sides.
This is how we start the New Architectural Curriculum.
