Full textAbstract:
The profession of architecture mainly involves the construction of building information; this is achieved within the knowledge paradigm of our society. Therefore, a shift in the knowledge paradigm can lead to the advent of new architectural professions; the Renaissance and the current era are periods of such shifts. However, during the process of such a shift, it is difficult to notice the essential nature of the change, such as the emergence of a new architectural profession utilizing building information modeling (BIM). This study is unique in that it uses the correlation of building information with knowledge to uncover the essential nature of the architectural profession. Furthermore, Nonaka’s knowledge creation process (SECI) model is used to reveal the knowledge paradigm of our society. The analysis results show that knowledge creation in society has increased explosively since it has become possible—through the printing revolution of the Renaissance period—to share knowledge that previously remained at the experience level. Accordingly, this has led to the advent of an architectural profession involving today’s intellectuals, who can construct and express building information by using conceptualized knowledge rather than experience. Nowadays, machines have emerged as new agents of knowledge processing through the digital revolution, innovatively strengthening connections between information silos. As a result, a new architectural profession has emerged, focused on improving the performance of buildings by using simulations with machine-readable building information as well as with one’s own knowledge. Further, this new architectural profession, by harnessing the newly developed hybrid intelligence of machines and humans, is expected to overcome the former limits of the profession.

Purpose The design of the built environment is a determinant of health. Accordingly, there is an increasing need for greater harmonization of the architectural profession and public health. However, there is a lack of knowledge on whether designers of the built environment are changing their practices to deliver healthier urban habitats. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The research uses a multi-method approach to data analysis, including: systematic mapping study, structured review and thematic analysis. Findings The research finds that there are almost no requirements for the compulsory inclusion of health across institutions and agencies that have the power to execute and mandate the scope of architectural profession, training, education, practice or knowledge. Despite the urgent need for action and the myriad entreatments for greater integration between architecture and health, there is very little evidence progress. Practical implications The research has implications for the architectural profession and architectural education. Health and well-being is not currently an integral part of the educational or professional training requirements for architects. University educational curriculum and Continuing Professional Development criteria need to better integrate health and well-being into their knowledge-base. Social implications The design of the built environment is currently undertaken by an architectural profession that lacks specialized knowledge of health and well-being. There is a risk to society of environments that fail to adequately protect and promote the health and well-being of its inhabitants. Originality/value The research evidences, for the first time, the lack of integration of “health and wellbeing” within the architecture profession training or education systems.

Full textAbstract:
Modern design practice, where an architect works with engineers in a large team, lacks optimisation. Improvement of collaboration between the professions of architecture (A) and structural engineering (SE) would result in more efficient structures. Collaboration can be improved by professionals who have training and/or experience in both professions. The fact is proved by the professionals that either were separately trained in each field, or had integrated training in both fields, or successfully practised on the borderline between A and E. The concept of architectural engineering (AE) appeared in the late nineteenth century, and the profession has increasingly been developing from that time on. The Aim of the research is to develop a competence model (CM) for an AE professional, and scientifically substantiate the subject matter of the undergraduate AE programme. The Scope of the study is the analysis of collaboration issues relating to the civil engineering (CE) and A professions, studies on the development of CM, and development of the study programme curriculum. The authors developed a CM for an AE professional containing essential competences and courses of the curriculum for training of the modern professional proficient in the development of architectural and structural design projects.

After Francisco Franco’s death, the process of democratisation of public institutions was a key factor in the evolution of the architectural profession in Spain. The approval of the creation of neighbourhood associations, the first municipal governments, and the modernisation of Spanish universities are some examples of this. Moreover, feminist and environmental activism from some parts of Spanish society was relevant for socio-political change that affected women in particular. The last decade of Franco’s Regime coincided with the first generation of women that graduated from the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB). From 1964 to 1975, 73 female students graduated as architects—the first one was Margarita Brender Rubira (1919–2000) who validated her degree obtained in Romania in 1962. Some of these women became pioneers in different fields of the architectural profession, such as Roser Amador in architectural design, Alrun Jimeno in building technologies, Anna Bofill in urban design and planning, Rosa Barba in landscape architecture or Pascuala Campos in architectural design, and teaching with gender perspective. This article presents the contributions of these women to the architecture profession in relation to these socio-political advances. It also seeks—through the life stories, personal experiences, and personal visions on professional practice—to highlight those ‘other stories’ that have been left out of the hegemonic historiography of Spanish architecture.

Many graduates of architecture attracted to the job market find a profound gap between what they have learned in college and what is being done in their career in Iran. The educational problems that make architecture graduates inefficient in the job market are identified. Then solutions are offered to reduce the gap. Four types of questionnaires were distributed to the last year undergraduate students, professors of architecture schools and professional architects and their answers and suggestions were collected. The results show that there are some solutions for bringing architecture education closer to architectural profession: 1. participatory education, 2. establishment of non-governmental organisations, 3. linking faculties of architecture with architectural offices, and 4. revision of undergraduate curriculum of architecture.

Purpose Spurred by the internationalization trend, many architectural professional bodies across the globe relaxed their norms related to the acceptance of promotion and marketing within the services. However, in India, the architectural services codes have not reflected any changes. This paper aims to focus on Indian architectural practice and attempts to investigate about the causes of low marketing activities within the practice in the country. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on a primary research process of data collection through survey administration. Survey is conducted using a close-ended structured questionnaire based on Likert scale technique. The data are analysed using both descriptive and empirical research techniques mainly, factor analysis. The sample is defined using random clustering sampling technique, from the list of architects registered with the professional regulating body of India, i.e. the Council of Architecture. Findings The findings of the study are suggestive that architectural firms in India are instinctively practising marketing-related activities, to position their firm to attract clients without formally adopting them. There appears to be a silent routinization of the marketing tasks in the firms. The findings are suggestive of academic and professional ignorance as one of the barriers towards marketing. The findings advocate that recognizing the growing competitive nature of architectural practices in the country, the regulatory and institutional body, Council of Architecture, may retrospect their code of conduct. The results of the present study have a great implication on the architectural education in the country. The findings advocate that the architectural curriculum in the country should be broadened to include the basic knowledge about marketing. Research limitations/implications The present study opens a newer paradigm in the practice of architectural services. It highlights the growing linkages between the field of marketing and architecture. It opens a new area of research where linkages between interdisciplinary fields is an important aspect that needs researchers attention, to have a good model of survival for professional firms in a highly competitive environment. Practical implications The research findings have great implications for the architectural firms that seek to operate in the globally volatile environment. The increasing competitive nature of the architectural services in India demands a dynamic decision and procurement methods that can strategically position firms in the market. Marketing strategies have a significant role in positioning firms and increasing their client base. Originality/value The subject of architectural practice and its operation is an under-researched area. The present study makes a strong point for formal involvement of marketing strategies in the promotion of architectural firms in India. The paper attempts to bridge this gap, and the strength of the paper lies in the empirical nature of its investigation.

All Marketing has a major role in professional practice, especially in architectural professing. The marketing provides a great benefit to the architect, especially if he develops this profession. Day by day, The architectural profession is becoming more competitive, as it needs to learn more about advanced marketing techniques. many architects are follow the old ways of gaining customers' reputation, and these methods do not correspond to the era of modernity in the architectural business environment and preparing competitors .So the problem surfaced(Lack of adoption of marketing as an important factor in the success of architectural offices, therefore it is necessary to search for the concept of marketing and what its plans and it’s strategies ) ,The research goal is "searching for the concept of marketing and determining what it’s plans and it’s strategies", Research hypothesis: "a successful marketing plan means getting more customers and thus more profits”. So must be three-stage approach, first: building a theoretical framework on marketing plans and strategies. Second: applying the vocabulary of the theoretical framework to an elected sample of architectural offices. Third: analyzing the results and extracting the conclusions, to conclude that there is a lack of awareness on the importance of marketing in the architectural business environment in Iraq, and the adoption of marketing as a method between offices and architectural companies to increase customers and thus increase profits.

Full textAbstract:
American architectural journals first appeared in the second half of the 19th century. Encouraged by advances in printing and graphic technologies, they were part of a general trend toward specialized journalism during this period. The architectural periodical developed along with journals for women, clerics, railroad engineers, and grocers. Yet it also resulted from publishers' desires to capitalize on the success of house pattern books and the widespread interest in architecture that they created. Despite these favorable omens the early American architectural journals foundered; they had troubled and short lives, generally lasting only two years. The premise of this paper is that their success depended on the architectural profession's direct involvement and support and the backing of a major publishing house. Beginning with the first periodicals of the 1850s and 1860s, architectural journalism identified itself with the emerging profession; its editorials asserted the architects' primacy in design and construction and distinguished their role from the builders'. Professional and educational issues, in fact, took precedence over aesthetic and stylistic discussions in editorial columns and articles. Yet the journals displayed the same pragmatism that had characterized builders' guides and pattern books, the first architectural literature published in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
The core of this thesis is the report of an empirical investigation of the knowledges used by architects in practice. Eighty one respondents were contacted at regular intervals and asked to describe their current activities and what knowledges they had needed to employ to undertake the activities. Subsequently, thirty two of these architects were interviewed in order to find out what they believed differentiated architectural knowledge from that used by competitors in the building field. Results are categorised, analysed and interpreted in terms of a variety of theoretical approaches.
Report of the empirical work is preceded by a broad theoretical investigation of a range of themes in development of the thesis title, with particular emphasis on conceptions of knowledge. Sociological theorising about professions and an historical interpretation of the development of‘professional society' are explored. Ideas related to the interaction of power and knowledge are also brought to attention.
The final section is devoted to implications of the research for architectural education. This chapter draws on theoretical material, covered earlier in the work, which gives consideration of status issues in professions, the concept of social closure and the role played by tertiary-level education in ‘gate-keeping' on behalf of the architectural profession.

This thesis investigates the emergence of a new specialisation within the profession of architecture, namely that of the architectural technologist. The main original contributions from the research concern a deep understanding of how that emergence has been realised, and a study of the implications for buildings in the longer term. Using the UK and Denmark as examples it finds that this profession has existed for a long time, but until recently without formal recognition. It also finds that the consequences of the lack of attention are potentially major, and it suggests why recognition came so late. By researching literature the history of the building and architecture industries was investigated and it is shown how the architects were cooperating with well-trained craftsmen for many centuries. This is compared with the kind of cooperation with architectural technologists going on today, and what will most likely occur in the future. Questionnaires, to provide data about current architectural and architectural technologist education, were sent to groups of newly graduated professionals. After statistical treatment the resulting quantitative data were thoroughly analysed by discussing the possible interpretations. Focus groups of highly qualified professionals also interpreted the data and insights into the needs of industry in both the UK and Denmark were provided. Finally, the thesis concludes by identifying necessary means of improvement, and points at the serious risk of a further division of the construction industry into more consulting companies. This increases the risk of future architecture failing to properly integrate technology and design.

Full textAbstract:
The architectural profession is multiple, rich, and diverse. This multiplicity can be characterised by diverse cultures of practice that differ in their particular understandings of the profession and their definitions of the role of the architect within the process of building procurement and production. Among these cultures, my thesis proposes that two cultures of practice are most prominent: what I call the instrumental culture and the critical culture. The instrumental culture is characterised by what I term the technical-rational mode of practice, which is the dominant mode in the contemporary profession. This mode of practice is often adopted in the production of buildings by or for multinational corporations, and largely shares their values. The discourse of the instrumental culture is so influential that it is frequently embraced by regulatory bodies in architecture and the building industry. The critical culture, on the other hand, while not dominant, maintains a prominent presence within the cultural sphere of the architectural profession. It covers a broad range of practices that generally embody ideas of qualitative, sensory, and social conceptions of architecture, and shares the frame of knowledge of cultural and critical theory. This research pursues a creative practice methodology, beginning by mapping the territories of different modes of practice in the contemporary global architectural profession. It traces the discourse of the dominant instrumental culture of practice and the nature of the dialogue between this culture and the critical culture of practice. The research investigates this dialogue and its influence on the configuration of the status quo of the architectural profession. It interrogates the imperatives of this domination on the particular values of the architectural profession and its future trajectory. To do so, the research proposes the proactive metaphor of Practiceopolis: the city of the architectural profession. Practiceopolis is an imaginary world where the architectural profession is conceived as a city-state in a confederation of states representing different actors forming the ‘country of the building industry’. By using this metaphor, the cultural capital of the architectural field is architecturalised through visible and tangible elements in a series of iterative narratives that help to investigate the dialogue between prominent cultures of practice. Practiceopolis draws from the philosopher Andrew Feenberg’s classification of varying stances towards technology and technical knowledge as key factors of how contemporary practices differ in their ideologies towards the profession (Feenberg, 2012). In addition, they comprise an intrinsic component distinguishing the values of the dominant instrumental culture of practice. The first part of the research builds-up the metaphor of Practiceopolis through four narratives. It concludes with the acknowledgment of a critical ideological division between the two prominent cultures of architectural practice I have identified. This first part of the research in turn prepares the foundation for second part: Stories from Practiceopolis. The second part is a set of quasi-realistic stories that take place in the imaginary city. These stories take the form of a graphic novel, which narrates situations experienced by the researcher: a self-confessed technical-rational practitioner through his experience of working in a research-led practice which pursues a critical approach. The stories revolve around the researcher’s role in the renovation of a Grade II listed building in the UK. The investigations of the research expand upon Donald Schön’s methods of ‘reflection on action’ and ‘reflection in action’ (Schön, 1985; 2017). 3 The research concludes by warning against subsuming distinctive values of the architectural profession under the instrumental values of other actors in the building industry. The research warns of the danger of the domination of one mode of practice and the strict attachment to technological processes, which could result in influential changes to the foundations of the architectural profession. The research ends with propositions regarding the particular values and the tacit knowledge of the architectural profession, and proposes a critical-instrumental mind-set to explore how these values could be defined, communicated, and marketed. This idea of critical-instrumentalism offers an alternative mode of conceptualising architectural practice.

Full textAbstract:
Transdisciplinary practice blurs disciplinary boundaries and reconstructs patterns of architectural practice. It is also a vigorous paradigm which is shaping practitioners’ philosophy, perspectives, and actions. This thesis explores transdisciplinary practice through the observation of different scales of firms to identify the nature of cross-boundary practice. Their mutually reciprocated intention is to create a mode of omni-collaboration in the architecture profession. The thesis aims to extend the current interpretation of ‘social capital and social practice’ in the architectural profession. Following the booming of free market policies in the majority of the world, the architectural profession has been increasingly challenged by greater complexity and fierce competition for demanding subjects for research and design. The accelerating climate of transdisciplinary practice has become prevalent so that it is no longer a novelty to integrate knowledge and expertise into the collaboration. Whereas many scholars have contributed to the theorisation of the architectural profession, focused study on cross-boundary practice including transdisciplinary research is insufficient. The deficiency of research interests in transdisciplinary practice identified a gap for this thesis to fill in. The case study is the primary method of investigation for this thesis. Selected companies were defined into three categories depending on their scales, namely small and medium enterprises (SMEs), transforming institutions and mega-firms. Comparative studies have been used to analyse discourses and projects, and to discuss the substance of transdisciplinarity. This thesis argues that transdisciplinary practice has restructured the function of the architectural profession, and transforms knowledge, resources and collective intelligence into innovative creativity in the form of social capital.

Full textAbstract:
There are critics who argue that marketing processes when applied to the practice of architecture encourage architects to compromise design excellence by giving into clients desires and discarding architectural values. But there are also supporters who see marketing as a process by which better buildings are generated and clients are subsequently more satisfied with the product, as well as the service. Marketing is a management tool. It was developed to help organizations respond to the forces that affect business operations. Nearly 30 years after the introduction of marketing concept few architecture firms fully understand the benefits marketing can afford the profession. This paper is intended to identify the complexities and uniqueness of marketing architectural services. The goal is to generate an understanding of what marketing is, what it is not, and how it applied to the practice of architecture.

Full textAbstract:
The fundamental question in design communication is how closely the architect's intention matches what the viewer perceives in the proposed design representation. The goal of this thesis is to find more efficient means to facilitate understanding of design ideas, especially between the architect and the client or other lay-people.In the following sections this will be accomplished by investigating the history of various communication modes and evaluating their significance. The development of communication technology throughout recent centuries has contributed to changes in the architectural process. After assessing the current situation of applying communication technology in the architectural process, the thesis concludes with a scenario. The scenario will describe a futuristic architectural process, which eliminates misunderstanding in design presentations by using the next level of communication technology - immersive computer generated spaces.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that the emergence of architect-designed project housing in Sydney in the late 1950s and 1960s was associated with a cultural and political shift within the local architectural profession. In order to provide an understanding of how such a shift might be defined, the thesis draws from the literature on the sociology of professions and the theories of sociologists Pierre Bourdieu, Paul du Gay and Sharon Zukin. Beginning in the 1930s and then progressing through the war and postwar years, the thesis will show how the popular housing market came to assume a major point of focus for the local architectural profession not only as an area of practice but also in relation to issues of identity and public image. The emergence of architect-designed project housing in Sydney in the late 1950s and 1960s is seen as an extension of that process. The thesis demonstrates how successful models of architectural engagement with project housing were used to highlight limitations in the way in which the profession had defined itself, particularly through such devices as the Royal Australian Institute of Architects' Code of Professional Conduct. It is argued that the dramatic revision made to that code in 1969 embodied a distinct cultural and political shift for the profession and was the result of a growing tension between traditional ideals and the realities of practice. It is concluded that architect-designed project housing served to inform that shift by providing a context in which aspects of this tension could be tested and, in some cases, reconciled.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the architectural development of the nineteenth-century country house by considering the importance of relationships in the complex history of country house building. It reconsiders traditional assumptions concerning country house ownership, aristoricratic patronage, the building process and the architectural profession during the period 1800–1900 which hitherto has received comparatively little attention from country house historians. Whilst considerations of style have, to a limited extent, been addressed, the importance of country house alteration and the role of patrons in determining the form these alterations took has been neglected. The patronage, design, and construction of a country house and buildings on the country house estate was a collaborative process. It was the consequence of a series of decisions and conversations. Negotiation and renegotiation of professional and personal relationships between architect and patrons, and between patrons, usually husband and wife, resulted in redesigns and compromises. On the country house estate these conversations might also include prominent residents, such as the local clergyman. Accessing these relationships and negotiations is a difficult task for the historian as they are often un-recorded. It is therefore hard to define the roles and impact of individulals in the design and construction process. This thesis attempts to recover these complex relationships through an exploration of alterations to four Northamptonshire country houses: Laxton Hall, Lamport Hall, Haselbech Hall and Overstone Hall.

Full textAbstract:
There is considerable evidence that those working within the construction industry are at risk of poor health and well-being due to a number of stressors. The structure and culture of the construction industry combine to result in stressors for those employed within the sector, namely, long working hours, high workload, job insecurity, low professional worth and poor work life balance. Architects occupy a unique position in the construction industry and may face additional stressors due to their reliance on construction as their sole client. There is also evidence that some architects enter the profession due to a mis-belief that the architect's role is primarily creative. This conflict between expectations and reality may act as an additional stressor. Poor health and well-being may have damaging consequences for the individual, for example, illness, and for the organisation, through reduced productivity and attrition of employees.

Full textAbstract:
Architectural education, in the past had a grounding in a strict apprentice or pupillage method of training architects. The apprentice was someone who worked or trained under a master that transferred skill through a “hands on” approach. Architecture was regarded as one of the arts and there was no formal training to qualify one as an architect. It was through the acclaimed Vitruvius that the architectural profession was born. Vitruvius had published “Ten Books on Architecture” that led to an attempt to summarize professional knowledge of architecture and in doing so became the first recognizable architect. The architectural profession spread throughout Europe in the mid-16th century and the builder and architect became two distinct characters. Although architecture had become a profession, it wasn’t up until the late 17th century that architecture became an academic pursuit through an institutionalized educational system known as École des Beaux Arts, however the pursuit of a strict academic scholar was not the focus. At the beginning of the 1800’s, The University of Berlin in Germany forged the fundamental research and scholarly pursuit. Architecture, like the professions of medicine, law etc. became a system of academic pursuit where professors concentrated deeply on academics first and professional work second. It is through the lens of history we can decipher how architecture became an academic discipline almost de-voiding it of its vocational nature. In its current standing, various universities place a high emphasis on research output from their academic staff. Presently, architecture schools in South Africa recruit lecturers on their academic profiles, rather than their vocational experience. The approach of which has devalued the input of industry into education. It has been noted that there has been an increase in an academic pursuit rather than a professional one for the lecturers that teach architecture. This research explores the views of academics on architectural education, teaching methods and the importance of practice at South African universities. The authors of this research provide an auto-ethnographic insight into their invaluable experience of being academics at two large Universities in South Africa and concurrently run successful practices. The research makes use of a mixed method approach of secondary data from literature and semi-structured interviews posed to academics. Initial findings reveal that academics are pushing the industry to play a part in the education of architects; however, the extent must be determined. If industry plays a role in the education of architects, what factors are considered and how does this inter-twine with the academic nature of training? What strategies are academics employing to make sure students are vocationally well trained and academically capable? Another important question to ask is what qualities make an academic architect in the 21st century?

Full textAbstract:
A closer study of the profession of industrial design, as an antithetical practice to architecture, reveals more than what architecture is not; it brings to light some of the residual values in the architectural profession, and inert forces within it, responsible for the dilating disparity between architecture and society at large. By illuminating the historical context in which industrial design as a profession emerged in the post-war America against the backdrop of rapidly expanding middle class and unprecedented material abundance, architects can recalibrate the future trajectory of the profession in alignment with shifting economic contexts.

Full textAbstract:
The impostor phenomenon (IP) is a feeling of incompetence despite evidence of competence. In addition to feelings of intellectual phoniness, impostor feelings are often accompanied by anxiety, depression, and psychological distress. Impostor feelings arise most frequently when encountering new challenges and when feeling like an outsider within your peer group or discipline; as such, IP has been well-documented in college students across many disciplines. IP has yet to be studied in the context of architecture education, where unique additional challenges may exacerbate impostor feelings; challenges confronted during the design process, frequent and public critiques and reviews, the competitive and comparitive atmosphere, the overwhelming array of skills and knowledge to acquire, and demanding workloads may contribute to feelings of incompetence, even if evidence of competence exists. If architecture students suff er from IP, it is imperative that these issues be addressed as we strive to make the academy and the profession more humane and inclusive. The design studio experience is for learning how to design as both a creative process AND a healthy, sustainable practice – in academic and future professional life.

Full textAbstract:
From the 1970s social and political changes in Australia and the burgeoning feminist movement were challenging established power relationships and hierarchies. This paper explores how in the 1980s groups of women architects actively took positions that were outside the established professional mainstream. A 1982 seminar at the University of Queensland galvanised women in Brisbane to form the Association of Women Architects, Town Planners and Landscape Architects. Formally founded the association was multi-disciplinary and not affiliated with the established bodies. Its aims included promoting women and working to reform the practice of these professions. While predominately made up of architects, the group never became part of the Royal Australian Institutes of Architects, it did inject itself into its activities, spectacularly sponsoring the Indian architect Revathi Kamath to speak at the 1984 RAIA. For five years the group was active organising talks, speakers, a newsletter and participating in Architecture Week. In 1984 an exhibition ‘Profile: Women in Architecture’ featured the work of 40 past and present women architects and students, including a profile of Queensland’s then oldest practitioner Beatrice Hutton. Sydney architect Eve Laron, the convenor of Constructive Women in Sydney opened the exhibition. There was an active interchange between Women in Architecture in Melbourne, Constructive Women, and the Queensland group, with architects such as Ann Keddie, Suzanne Dance and Barbara van den Broek speaking in Brisbane. While the focus of the group centred around women’s issues such as traditional prejudice, conflicting commitments and retraining, its architectural interests were not those of conventional practice. It explored and promoted the design of cities and buildings that were sensitive to users including women and children, design using natural materials and sustainability. While the group only existed for a short period, it advanced positions and perspectives that were outside the mainstream of architectural discourse and practice. Nearly 40 years on a new generation of women is leading the debate into the structural inequities in the architectural profession which are very similar to those tackled by women architects in the 1980s.

Full textAbstract:
Certainty, opinion throughout faculties and schools of architecture, teachers and students engaged in conventional education exchange an enormous amount of information, in a process intended to provide the latter with the skills required to become independent professionals. While part of the exchanged information can be recognized as clearly fitting within that formative goal, it is not uncommon for tutors to also suggest possible lines of inquiry that might sometimes seem arbitrary. Rather than taking those apparently incoherent indications for confusing or diversionary, I am convinced that they play a key role, not only in the education of the architect, but – most importantly – in the development of the architectural profession as a whole. In order to recognize the origin, importance and value of the architecture teacher’s hunch, in the following pages I will make a case for epistemological awareness as a sine qua non for the teacher’s hunch to become a productive source of professional knowledge. Without that awareness, what are taken for hunches might indeed be interpreted as whimsical, mysterious and fundamentally inoperative information.

Full textAbstract:
The profession and beforehand the education of architecture remains accountable and must increase responsiveness towards real-time needs, including those of society. This paper examines this necessity, asserting a more rigorous and expansive application and address of social responsibility learning in the education. Architecture professionals have advantaged positions as creative generators of built environments, hence, are socially responsible to serve the public good, empowering peoples and envisioning democratic places for all. The education is the starting place in transferring the essential learning principles, knowledge, and skills. Despite the import, social learning is still one of the least considered, most overlooked student performance criteria in architectural education. This is despite several contemporary mandate assertions in place and progress by leading professional organizations such asAIA and educational credentialing bodies such as NAAB.The paper considers as premise that, despite all the good, social learning still remains a key area that design pedagogy tends to overlook rather easily or can fall short to address. Regarding The Now, where loftier curriculum revisions and augmented experiences may not be within the reach of a program, humble opportunities always remain within reach, opening rooms for significant civic goals. The paper is highlighting some of these more nuanced and subtle opportunistic approaches to embrace and better address the social in the education.

Full textAbstract:
Students are a necessary part of the architecture profession. Their training and preparation have long been key to maintaining the business and culture of architecture, and in doing so perpetuating traditional territories that control the institutionalisation of a profession. Students have also created their own associations, often mirroring, and at the instigation of, their parent organizations. More often than not though, in addition to acting as social binders and playing out the role of disciplinary ‘club’, these associations have developed a critical voice, urging change and injecting critique: in short, setting the basis for the framing of a local discourse. Using its publications as primary source material, this paper explores the critical activities of the Victorian Architectural Students Society (VASS), which developed under the auspices of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects (RVIA). VASS published its annual from 1908, which evolved by 1932 to become Lines and, then additionally in 1939, students Robin Boyd and Roy Simpson expanded VASS’s publishing remit, producing the oft-controversial fold-away pamphlet Smudges that infamously gave ‘blots’ and ‘bouquets’ to new buildings. In 1947, VASS published Victorian Modern, Australia’s first polemical history of modern architecture and in 1952, it was the first publisher of the influential journal, Architecture and Arts. This paper examines the shifting ambitions of VASS, its chief protagonists, the role of graphics and the deft blending of the social, satirical and the critical that eventually framed and shaped Victoria’s architecture culture after World War II.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT As a professional and a theoretician of architecture, Patrik Schumacher has become a controversial figure in architecture and ethics discussions lately. After his statements on social housing problems in London (2016), he has been criticised and protested in many stages and even been called a provocateur in a column of The Guardian. However, it was not the first time he brought those criticisms against orthodox values of architecture. In his lectures in AA Graduate School – also in his books and other writings – he had already defined his theoretical perspective regarding ethical discussions of architecture. However, when he started to spread out his opinions on social media platforms, this made those statements more visible and open to fast-track critiques while also staging non-academic reactions to his perspective. This paper aims to argue the ongoing discussions against Schumacher in terms of the ethical concerns of architecture by questioning the fundamental values of the profession (if any). The paper aims neither to agree nor to disagree with his statements but to understand the ethical perceptions and/or goals of architecture from the societal perspective within this particular case. To achieve this aim, the paper firstly analyses the definition of architectural ethics and continues with positioning the Schumacher-based discussions in this theoretical frame. The article mainly focuses on the discussions on the most visited architectural digital media platforms to understand the motive of the societal reactions. Related platforms have been determined with the help of Alexa Analytics, and the first five of them have been evaluated within the scope. In conclusion, this research proposes to offer a new understanding of what could be contemporary ethical paradigms in architecture with the help of a case, social values of architecture versus Patrick Schumacher. Keywords: Patrik Schumacher, ethics, ethical paradigms in architecture, humanitarian architecture, architectural media platforms.

Full textAbstract:
An economic and population boom in the 1890s created opportunities for architects to find work and fame in Western Australia. Architecture, therefore, became a viable profession for the first time, and the number of practicing architects in the colony (and then state) quickly grew. Associations such as the Western Australian Institute of Architects were established to organise the profession, but as the number of architects grew and Western Australian society matured, it became evident that a role for government was required to ensure practice standards and consumer protection. In 1921, therefore, the Architects Act was passed, and, in the following year, the Architects Board of Western Australia was launched. This report traces the evolution and transformation of professional architectural practice since then, and evaluates the role and impact of the Board in its first century.

Full textAbstract:
Integrated Modification Methodology (IMM) has already been applied in established metropolitan contexts, such as Porto Maravilha in Rio de Janeiro, the neighbourhood of Shahrak-e Golestan in Tehran, and Block 39 in New Belgrade. When Unitec Institute of Technology’s Associate Professor of Urban Design Dushko Bogunovich came up with the idea of a comparative analysis of two sprawling metropolitan contexts – Auckland and Milan – he and Massimo Tadi, Director of the IMMdesignlab in Milan and Associate Professor at the School of Architectural Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, decided to apply IMM to a sample area of low-density suburban Auckland. The project presented in this book was developed in a joint international design workshop organised by Politecnico di Milano, IMMdesignlab and Unitec Institute of Technology. The workshop was held at Politecnico di Milano, Polo Territoriale di Lecco (Italy), from 25–29 May 2015, and the team, comprising 14 international students from different design disciplines, was coordinated by Tadi and Bogunovich, assisted by engineers Hadi Mohammad Zadeh and Frederico Zaniol (IMMdesignlab). The outcomes of the workshop were then further developed by IMMdesignlab to demonstrate how, by adopting IMM, it is possible to retrofit, renovate and reactivate an inefficient and energy consuming neighbourhood into a more integrated and sustainable one.
