Talk Architecture
Educated but Unprepared: Who's Really at Fault? [Part 2]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Part 2 continues the discussion on the systemic problems where "the burden of education has quietly shifted from academia to practice", by referring to Seshan Design SB Handbook and points discussed in Part 1 of the same topic.
Naziaty started by what went wrong in architecture education and how and why we lost our direction. It will span from when I started architecture in 1980 until now. 46 years of reflection plus the on-going discussion on social media especially Facebook.
