Abstract

An ideal course
Ever since the founding of the Aar- hus School of Architecture in 1965 there has been a tradition for lively discussion surrounding the content of the architecture program.
The discussion has often been con- ducted from ideological or norma- tive positions, with the tendency to strive for an ideal singular course.
We probably have to admit that we have never succeeded in finding that solitary ‘utopian’ course – and at present we can perhaps thank our lucky stars that this is the cir- cumstance. Since experience tells us that our ideological and norma- tive discussions have never brought us any closer to the truth about the ideal architectural paradigm. Exper- imentation and the continuing em- pirical construction of knowledge have, on the other hand, constantly developed the degree course.
