Academic Leadership and Teaching: Engaging through Architecture - Creating a mindset

Publications: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterCommunication

Abstract

This article’s aim is to present a shift from a focus on the architectural education as consisting of teaching skills to an understanding of education as creating a state of mind. The core of this focus is the proposal that architecture can be seen as an agent for change. That it is possible to engage in society, to collaborate, to create and make changes through architecture. The fundamental question is thus not what skills architects need in the future, but how architecture, and thinking as an architect, is to contribute to better living conditions in the future?
