How should architects practice? Each generation of architects brings changes to the society. Architectural education provides the ability to design, critically question, and tackle design challenges, as a prelude to practice and integration into the full complexity of daily life. As practitioners, we should develop a critical view not only on design but also on our role as professionals and as contributors to the community.
This course prepares students to practice architecture by providing critical reflection the fundamental roles and values of an architect. Through the study of both traditional and alternative possibilities in architectural and spatial agencies, the course is designed to inspire students to look beyond customary practices and consider their own responsibility and contribution to the ever-changing society.
