Are We Architects?
On Education, Architectural Profession and Institutional Critique
In the last fifteen years or so the architectural education has seemed to be increasingly under double pressure. One set of criticisms stems from the recalibration of institutional frameworks and is linked to the so-called “research turn” to which architecture schools and other design disciplines reacted with vaguely articulated approach of research by design or design by research. This subterfuge clearly signals epistemological divide between architecture and other methodologically more grounded sciences. Second set of problems seems to orbit around “eternal” wrestle between theory and practice and such criticism is typically pointing at disconnectedness of architectural education (and by extension academic research in architecture) from the “real world problems” and its relevance to the “real life”. Relevance is precisely the sore point that connects all the anxieties arising from the relation between academia and the architectural profession and by extension from the relation between the profession and the “Society”. By this vector of thought the epistemological question becomes an ontological one: How do we, as architects, relate to the world?
The lecture series “Are we architects? On Educational, Architectural Profession and Institutional Critique” is financially supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the Statutory City of Brno and the AKTION programme.
