#IAMTALKS : The Futures of Education a.k.a Learning: Areti Markopoulou - IaaC

SCHOOLS OUT #4

How is architectural practice changing? How can educators adapt?

"IaaC instil a collaborative, open-source, cross-discipline mentality that focusses on learning by doing. In doing so, they teach students to overcome the age-old ego of the architect, redefining the practice itself."

Learning to Imagine Oneself. On pedagogies and emancipation

SCHOOL'S OUT #3

Is education a space of liberation and possibility or a space of reproduction and social control?

"The school and museum have been thought of as spaces for social emancipation, where the promise of a better future can be realised (...) however they also harbour the contradiction of being spaces of reproduction and social control, or places for disciplinary normalisation."

We're wishing we were in Barcelona for this one: http://www.macba.cat/en/learning-to-imagine-oneself-on-pedagogies-and-emancipation -inscripcio

Learning to Imagine Oneself. On pedagogies and emancipation Learning to Imagine Oneself addresses the way in which formative processes can become spaces for the activation of a political imagination that intervenes in the social sphere and is conceived as a possibility for the production of ways of life. The self-reflective imagining implied in the title app...

How does the architectural training model need revising?

SCHOOL'S OUT #2

"Professional education for architects is based on a model that is fifty years old and must be radically rethought to adapt and prepare much better for the future."

The Farrell Review recommends a 'foundation' course linking architecture and construction courses.

Good idea or bad idea?

Bartlett head calls for new models of education to protect future UK architects

SCHOOL'S OUT #1

Where 26% of architectural students report mental health issues, the head of the Bartlett questions whether the system is working, and who it's working for.

"(architectural education) is increasingly constrained in its ability to engage with rapid changes taking place within creative and construction industries, the economy and, most importantly, how careers are built"

"the 'accredited' route to professional registration needs to change before it is seen as a counterproductive investment."

What do you think? Is it worth it?
