Jeong, Dae Yeong, and Hee Jin Kim. "The Advent of the New Architectural Profession through BIM." Buildings 12, no. 8 (July 31, 2022): 1134. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/buildings12081134.
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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:
Architectural education is the first step into the professional career of an architect. It has strong connections with the profession itself regarding the technological trends and the needs of the society. Therefore, emerging challenges and developments in the world of architecture like environmental problems and sustainability issues need to be addressed by the educational programs of architecture. In addition to this, sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Program of United Nations puts an important responsibility on the shoulders of architectural educators. SDG includes both architectural and educational goals such as quality education, affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, and climate action. Accordingly, architectural education needs to be formed in a way to respond to the requirements of the contemporary global society. Design studio is the heart and core of architectural education. It is the place where all the theoretical and technical knowledge and skills gained in other courses become useful for the students to come up with design ideas and products. Additionally, design studios are not isolated environments. They form a series of courses by the consecutive repetition throughout the continuum of architectural education. Thus, they need to be treated as a developing sequence. Therefore, it is very important and valuable that the structure of the design studio sequence is improved and updated with suitable revisions towards emerging needs of the profession and society like the adaptation of sustainability principles, to reflect the dynamic character of architectural education itself. This paper presents a conceptual model proposal for the design studio sequence for the adaptation of sustainability principles to architectural education.

The article analyzes the difficulties and compromise solutions that the Chinese architectural profession finds to meet the current trends in the context of changing civilization. Even after decades of changes and innovations, the Chinese architectural profession still has not been able to create distinctive characteristics of Chinese architecture to follow the aesthetics of modern Chinese people. The design of the Guanghua commercial complex in Chengdu presented in this article uses elements of traditional Chinese culture, gardens and calligraphy to create an “artistic concept” in contemporary architectural design that reflects the identity inherent in the place. The purpose of the article is to propose a new way of studying the ideas of modern Chinese architectural design.

Conclusions have been drawn about the professional applications and architectural life from the cinematographic level regarding the architect characters and their jobs via the seven films and a total of eleven different architect characters studied. This study aims to revise, through the cinema, the questions of what does an architect do? How does an architect work? What are the tools that an architect uses? How does an architect create their works? What is the mental map of an architect like? In short, who is an architect? New conclusions have been drawn, via a total of eleven different characters of architects in seven films, about architects and architects’ job from the cinematographic level to Professional practiceand architectural life.

Full textAbstract:
Some long-term historical, economic and social circumstances leading to marginalisation of the British architectural profession are described. A mismatch between demand for architectural services and their supply is suggested to have contributed to marginalisation. Possible reasons are advanced for a restrained response to marginalisation by the profession. In particular, aspects of the professional culture connected with insularity and aversion to management are suggested to have been significant. However, while aspects of the professional culture hindered long-term adjustment to changing demand, they also may have helped to support design activity in the shorter term.

Full textAbstract:
Architecture as a profession inherently implies the highest degree of social responsibility, for not only the material component of human life is dependent on the architect`s work, but also, in no less degree, the psychological health of people. Architecture as art satisfies people`s natural existential urge, communicating in its own language the harmony and constancy of the universe, which is reflected in the world's architectural heritage. For centuries, architectural education was based on the inheritance of past experience. In the XX century, the concepts of the Avant-garde became the basis of education, and that was a painful and dangerous deviation, which has led to the crisis of architecture. According to the author, a throwback to the old methods of design based of the cultural heritage principles is needed.

In an attempt to make architectural education more relevant to professional architectural practice and as a response to increasing tuition fees, major changes to university curricula in the UK are afoot. This brings unprecedented opportunities to re-consider what and how universities teach - and to make architectural education more relevant to real-world challenges.Last year, undergraduate design unit UG3 at the Bartlett School of Architecture completed an innovative project. The unit teamed-up with educational charity Global Generation to design and build a series of small buildings for a real client on a real site in King’s Cross. The article ‘Made in Architecture: Education as collaborative practice’ evaluates the emerging tradition of the live project as a vehicle for teaching architecture students about teamwork, collaboration and engagement. These skills - although increasingly significant to architectural practice - have until now been largely side-lined by university curricula.Only if educators and practitioners together embrace new opportunities for architects to engage and empower communities can the profession reverse increasing marginalisation and re-define it’s remit in the face of new social and environmental challenges.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of architecture, a discipline that is inescapably contingent on the particular, but that is also required by society in some way to represent an ideal, raises a number of specific ethical issues. Following an essay by the philosopher Thomas Nagel, this paper argues that it is intrinsic to professional judgement that this involves the prioritizing of unquantifiable ‘goods’. A twentieth-century case study is examined, which exhibits the choices made by a well-known architect. The changed nature of architectural practice in the United Kingdom in the twenty-first century is then described, whereby the privilege of making such judgements has been severely limited by the substitution of managerial values for professional values. In the face of different ethical imperatives – most obviously to design responsibly within pressing ecological concerns – it is argued that the task for architects now is to re-establish a context within which sound judgements can be made, which of course implies a degree of professional trust. Their ability to balance managerial values (technical competence for example) with ethical decision-making is what may prove to be most valuable. There are implications for architectural education, which in the past has either pretended to be a science or has retreated into aesthetic speculation, providing training in the skills of persuasion rather than relationship-building. The conclusion is that ethical thinking is inescapable for the profession of architecture in the twenty-first century.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporariness of architecture can be interpreted in diverse ways. Starting from a basically formulated modern context, which is even nowadays understood as such, in which the limits of stability of the architectural profession are examined, our concern is the designer's intention to research within a wider cultural context. We are actually considering the capacities of the profession for continuous development of its own critical apparatus. Through the question of the relation between the general and the individual, followed by the question of integrity and proportion of architectural effect, but also by the role of media and digitalization of the world, in the focus of this text projected are the scenes of reality filled with the values of architecture willing to develop, within itself, the analytical and synthetic concepts relying on the contextual, but also on the own indetermination and instability regarding the concept of the space and time.

Full textAbstract:
The influence of modern architecture became more visible in Thailand after the country shifted from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy in 1932 and also as a result of economic circumstances and world trends. The first generation of Thai Modernist architects (or the pioneers of modern architecture in Thailand) had their education in Europe because of the necessity to modernize Thailand. The second generation were Thai architects who received their architectural education in Thailand as well as some continuing their studies in the USA. Their works reflect the International Style with a concern for a tropical architecture vocabulary and local material utilization based on economics. As the architectural profession was declared a protected profession in 1965 for Thai architects only, there was very little modern architecture in Thailand designed by foreign architects.

Full textAbstract:
At a time when Belgrade was recovering from the ravages of war, one of the basic requirements of development was the renovation or reconstruction of the devastated building stock, and the erection of new buildings due to the ever-increasing influx of newcomers into the capital of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. A major role was played in this process by the Technical Directorate of the Municipality of Belgrade, whose architectural department worked diligently on the (re-)construction of the capital. One of the most important architects of the Technical Directorate was the Paris-trained Milivoj Tričković. Although he did not leave behind a large number of buildings, he influenced the development of the architectural profession, both through his publications and writings, and - arguably even moreso - through his role as a professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the importance of Milivoj Tričković, both as an architect in the construction of Belgrade in the interwar period through new attributions of individual buildings, and in the development of the architectural profession through the education of new generations of architects, by providing an overview of his most significant professional achievements.

Full textAbstract:
This is an account of the relationship between architecture and power in Romania during the Stalinist period. A cursory glance at Arhitectura – the only specialist magazine to resume publication after the change in regime – suggests compliance with political direction, and professional interest in translating the theoretical method of Socialist Realism into a specific, culturally localized architectural language. Architecture competitions are a medium of intersection between theory and practice, power and the profession, ideology and economy – a space where political contention based on professional knowledge becomes possible even in totalitarian regimes. Between 1950 and 1956, Arhitectura published several competitions which, far from reinforcing Socialist Realism as the dominant architectural discourse, exposed the method’s internal contradictions and utopianism. In the ensuing confusion, there emerged a creative, practice-based counter-discourse centered on previously hegemonic dialects (the ‘national’). Based in equal amounts on the pre-established dynamics of professional culture, and on the willingness and ability of the architecture field to speculate the rules of the political game, this counter-discourse gradually led to the dismantling of Socialist Realism into alternative readings of Socialist architecture.

While Adolf Loos had declared in 1910 that architecture and art were two different things, the architectural profession in New Zealand continued to think of architecture as one of the arts for decades after that date. This paper will examine this issue for the period from 1912 to 1920 as revealed in the pages of the Journal of Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute of Architects. John Ruskin, always recognised as a major influence upon the Arts and Crafts Movement, is shown to have been a forceful influence behind the wider thinking of the architectural profession in New Zealand throughout this period. This influence concerns matters of style and decoration, materials and, above all, the integrity and commitment of the architect. Several lectures delivered to regional institutes and recorded in the journal are examined to reveal on the one hand a confidence that architecture was even perhaps the greatest of the arts but also that recent developments in materials and construction desperately called for the profession to find a new approach.

Full textAbstract:
The Professione di Architetto in Renaissance Italy shows how Renaissance Italian architects used the concept of the professione di architetto as a way to affirm and delineate the character of their occupation. Drawing inspiration from antiquarian models and taking advantage of the humanist ethos, these architects equated “profession” with manual and theoretical expertise, social authority, and the fulfillment of artistic, civic, and moral ideals. Elizabeth Merrill places the origins of architectural professionalism in early modern Italy—rather than in the nineteenth-century movements frequently cited by social historians—and describes the theoretical context for the architect's professional rise. Positioning themselves alongside university-educated professors, architects of Renaissance Italy crafted didactic treatises about their work and created academies for its instruction, foreshadowing a long history of architectural discourse that continues to this day.

Full textAbstract:
<p>This paper examines a form of “live project” that casts the design studio topic in three distinct roles. In one guise it is a collaborative, “real world,” engagement with a range of stakeholders. In another it presses toward the production of buildings, while in a third, it acts as the vehicle for higher level academic design research. Within the design studio at the University of Auckland, School of Architecture and Planning these three imperatives are juxtaposed to define the contested territory from which the architectural project emerges as negotiated, speculative-yet-realisable outcome.<br />The aim of this discussion is to demonstrate the triple focus model of live project and the problem currently confronting it: a local instance of a complex, widespread problem between the architectural academy, the profession and the market.<br />Since 2007 a succession of community groups, businesses and developers have brought their projects to the design studio at the school. Typically they have come looking for speculation as to the potential of their projects, the kind of breadth of exploration that generally is not viable within commercial architectural organisations. Meanwhile, through these projects, students are asked to conduct research into the development of their own critical, architectural making practices.<br />The text begins with an account of one particular project – a speculation as to the development opportunities of heritage buildings on “earthquake prone” sites in Auckland for one of the country’s most progressive developers. It looks at the larger academic, professional and market conditions being responded to and thus situates this type of live project before concluding with an outline of potentials for its advancement. In so doing it signals work to come.</p>

The article examines the evolution of the role of architect – artist, his properties, based on the study of architectural, artistic, monumental features, both historical stages and modernity on the examples of architectural objects, design synthesis of arts – sculpture, painting, monumental and decorative art. The expediency of generalizing the nature of different attitudes to the architect as a specialist – an architect-artist in order to popularize the profession is substantiated. The article substantiates the study of the role of the architect in the historical development of architecture, the peculiarities of the perception of the architect as the main in the formation of the architectural environment, socio-political, historical events of society to promote it and approve the architect as the main builder, making the name of the architect of the object in history. The expediency of the attitude to the architect as to the specialist – the architect-artist, for the purpose of popularization of a profession is proved. The article examines the historical stages and styles in architecture, from ancient times the formation of human environment for existence and ending with the present. Theoretical methods, generalization of information are used in the work when considering scientific research related to the historical periods of architecture of the world and Ukraine. It is important to deepen the understanding of the culture of the profession. The generalization of research results provides material for understanding the role of the architect's profession as the main one in the implementation of the postulate "expediency, benefit, beauty", as well as in the implementation of theoretical research in the educational process of architects and designers and is a continuation of previous research.

Exactly 50 years ago, the Council of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) launched a new policy and commitment to ‘architectural research.’ At its meeting on 7 December 1967, it set in motion a new programme to accelerate and coordinate the growth of research in architecture, not only in architectural schools but through research centres and in practices. In addition, it reinforced its commitment to building up the Institute's own competence in research, ‘so that it can speak authoritatively on behalf of the profession in the formulation of national research policies and investment programmes.This paper seeks to historicise the formation, development and promotion of architectural research – what we are terming the idea of architectural research – in light of the Institute's renewed commitment to a research agenda through the appointment in December 2017 of a Vice President for Research (an entirely new role) and the publication of a suite of resources aimed at ‘de-mystifying’ research in practice and promoting the evidencing of design quality and the value of the architect. These initiatives have their origin in the invention of architectural research as a distinct tradition and a post-rationalisation of what had gone before following on from the Oxford Conference in 1958. Furthermore, we situate the invention of this tradition not only within professional and educational debates of the post-war period, but also in the changing and fluctuating landscape of government policy on the promotion and funding of research, itself a response to a perceived cultural and political angst about the UK's shortcomings in productivity and development. In contextualising and problematising the creation and fostering of a ‘research culture’ in the UK architecture profession over the last 60 or so years, we also uncover some of the assumptions behind the contemporary self-conscious pre-occupation with developing the research culture of architects. The paper begins with a discussion of historiography and methodology before moving to the research context of construction history and the role played by the RIBA Research Group in developing the idea of architectural research.

The schism that exists between UK architecture academics and architecture practitioners is now a significant issue because the practical-knowledge gap within the profession has diminished the status of the architect as an important member of the construction team. This opinion article explores the need for tutor training in architecture education. This article draws on findings from an investigation of teacher training and staff development in Higher Education to show that the ARB, RIBA and UK Schools of Architecture could begin to develop a professional teaching and CPD framework to support architect-tutors as a way of bridging the divide between academia and practice. This article argues that if educators and practitioners can work together more harmoniously, the UK architecture profession stands a better chance of meeting a challenging and unpredictable future.

The demise of architecture schools in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE)will have caught the attention of every architect working in one of the UK's research-led universities (arq 5/4, p 291 ). The debate about architectural theory, its definition and application into practice is complex, diverse and sometimes contentious. Within universities where research success is at the heart of their culture, architectural ‘research’ does not necessarily follow conventional protocols or manifest itself in the refereed journals ubiquitous in other disciplines. But should it be any less valued because its output does not conventionally fall into one of those standardized categories?

The architectural profession lacks the infrastructure that enables other professions, such as mechanical engineering, to build a knowledge-base and share research results of use to practitioners. To create such an infrastructure, the profession needs to develop learning cycles that involve researchers, educators, and practitioners working in task groups to set research priorities, raise funds, publish findings, and disseminate knowledge through conferences and curricula.

Full textAbstract:
An unspoken issue of increasing priority in architectural education is the under developed differentiation between architecture and technology. Almost all of the qualifications whereby an architect is prepared for and is permitted to practice professionally are technological parameters. But architecture is not technology. Architecture is, however, both protected by and obscured thru technology being in the forefront that means it is both of benefit and a hindrance. Architecture being undifferentiated from technology and named in terms of technology thus allows the issue to stay safely within the pragmatic assertion of professionalism that is set up during an education mainly controlled by the profession. Within that is a nascent architectural impulse that resides largely unspoken but which is nonetheless evolved and evolving and shared. The unrevealed architecture generates an aura of the mysterious and the radical which that contributes a greatly to the intensity of mundane and well known work. This paper examines how architectural technology obviates a space of differentiation within architecture, which may be examined phenomenologically in terms of the essence of humanity, whereby architecture has an original ontological correlation with human aspiration. This will be supported with the well known — for brevity — theoretical and practical examples around the work of Heidegger, Louis I. Kahn. Along with phenomenology, we will introduce philosophies of spiritual practice collectively called rajayoga. The latter is a millennia long experiment with well documented research into human aspiration. The paper concludes with examples of architecture presencing this space of differentiation and suggests the implications on the profession of an education that scan develop the super-ordinate program that is architectural practice.

When Frank Eggar Greenish (c1887-1962) criticised the Reform Government's architectural policies he boldly stated that: "Good architecture should not be a plaything - a luxury - for a spirited nation. It should be a very real part of national character." The statement embodied sentiments which were uncontested among New Zealand architects of the period. Instead they were frustrated by their seeming inability to convey the necessity of architecture to the public and to the government, and to determine, within the New Zealand context, the appropriate standing of the architectural profession.

The 1930s in the United States marked a turning point in the relationship of the architectural profession to both the government and corporations. The federal government and large corporations, began to hold design competitions to stimulate the building industry during the Depression. This caught the American Institute of Architects unprepared and led to the transformation of the profession from one grounded in the ideal of the architect-artist to one whose survival depends, in part, upon business acumen, technical competence, and public relations skill.

Architect Julia Morgan (1872-1957) cultivated a professional style that enabled her to exert authority in a male-dominated profession. This article focuses on three aspects of that style: her costume, her relationship to the media, and her downtown San Francisco offi ce. Rather than a shy woman who sought anonymity, Morgan was a savvy professional with a strong gender consciousness who actively sought success and shaped her own destiny. Her story provides insight into the history of women in the professions and the gendered landscape of the Progressive Era city. Since Julia Morgan left behind few words regarding her social views, professional intentions, or architectural philosophy, this article is also an interdisciplinary exercise that investigates the intersection of biography, material culture, gender, and the built environment.

Celebrating the 90th anniversary of Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, it is important to note the role of innovation in the formation of the architectural faculty of the university. Throughout the history of the faculty, its architects have sought to be ahead of the latest advances in the profession. Preserving the best traditions of architectural pedagogy, each generation added new ones to them, developing and multiplying the results achieved by its predecessors. This article is devoted to the trend of innovative development of architecture as a factor influencing the scientific and pedagogical practice of the Department of Innovative Technologies of Design of Architectural Environment (ITDAE).
Today, the problem of training qualified architects who can be competitive in the labour market is becoming more acute. The architect of the new generation must effectively interact in the professional, corporate and social environment, have a scientific thinking apparatus, modern methods and means of research, know the programs of architectural and construction design, focus on the market of modern architectural and design services.
The article discusses the problems of implementing innovative methods of analysis, modelling and design of the architectural environment into the scientific and pedagogical practice of the Department of Innovative Technologies of Design of Architectural Environment (ITDAE) of KNUCEA. The issues of development in the scientific and practical work of the department of the directions of dual education and the principles of multidisciplinary interactions are also considered. A description of the directions of research carried out at the department is provided, including virtual reality, parametric modelling of energy-efficient buildings, modelling of a city as a dynamic system, architectural urbanism and the like.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to discuss the realm of values upon which thoughts on architecture have been conceived, through the drawings of architectural detail. Although modernism, which opposes technical detail and ornament, is still regarded as influential theoretical position, it neglects to address a broader meaning of a detail in architecture. The research disputes the opposition between an ornament and a technical detail, claiming that a detail in architecture is the more abstract term, which represents a certain level of design thought besides utility and embellishment. It is argued that both modern and traditional values from different aspects of societal and cultural activities, as for their changes were being referenced to the micro level of architecture, transforming the way of their presence through different visual representations of detail along the history and theory of profession. In this paper, the small-scale drawings are used as a medium a medium which reflects transdisciplinarity of the profession and its entanglement with the knowledge and dynamics of other fields of human activity such as philosophy, economy, religion, engineering, and arts.

The 1970s was a key decade in the path towards democracy in the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal and Spain suffered deep social, cultural and political changes, with Salazar’s and Franco’s Totalitarian Regimes ending in 1974 and 1975 respectively. In both countries, located side-by-side in the Western end of Southern Europe, democracy was finally established, marking a turning point in the liberties of all Iberian citizens, but especially in regard to women’s life and work. As the Editorial of the Special Issue ‘Becoming a Gender Equity Democracy: Women and Architecture Practice in Spain and Portugal’, this text aims to briefly present this panorama to appreciate the particularities of Portugal and Spain in relation with the delay incorporation of women to the architecture profession. It explains the gender stereotypes of Salazar’s and Franco’s Regime in order to understand the discrimination against women that they produced and how it maintained women far from the architecture profession. Therefore, it provides useful data on the incorporation of women into architectural studies in order to understand the feminization of this gendered profession in both countries. This Special Issue aims to create an opportunity for researchers and scholars to present discussions and ongoing research on how democracy affected women that wanted to practice architecture as well as architectural analysis of women architects.

In this paper, we explore what architectural practice and, more specifically, the architectural research domain, may gain from the theoretical and methodological premise of anthropology and ethnography. The paper explores a historical link between anthropology and architecture as academic disciplines, arguing that the disciplines are aligned through anthropology’s search for understanding the conditions of humanity and architecture’s role in forming these very conditions. We do not intend to explicate the individual disciplines but are interested in the crossover between the two and, more specifically, what insights anthropology and ethnography may offer to the discipline of architecture. We consider the relationship between anthropology and architecture, as both a research domain and a profession, and question how anthropology—as an approach to research more so than a discipline—can contribute to the advancement of architectural practice and research.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the teaching of earthquake resistant design within schools of architecture. It aims to stimulate discussion on more effective means of teaching the subject, and to suggest ideas and resources for schools whose seismic design curriculum might benefit from further development.
It is argued that seismic design issues should be included and integrated into architecture curricula. The case is based primarily on observations of building failures resulting from flawed architectural design decisions and subsequent critical reaction from within the architectural profession itself. However, another reason is that the large sizes and restrictive layouts of some seismic load resisting systems impact unavoidably upon architectural layouts.
The content, teaching methods and teaching staff qualities appropriate for a seismic design curriculum are discussed in a case study from the School of Architecture, Victoria University of Wellington. Two key aspects of perceived success are the course's relevance to architectural design and the variety of presentation. Teaching methods, teaching aids and useful references are provided.
The evaluation of the courses considered in the case study is discussed, and postgraduate and post-graduation seismic education in New Zealand is reviewed.

Two early high school architecture programs—Polytechnic High School in Los Angeles as of 1904 and Kern County High School in Bakersfield as of 1910—trained a cadre of architects that would populate the architectural programs of prestigious universities and would ultimately shape the built environment of Southern California and beyond. The programs’ charismatic founders, both trained in the Beaux-Arts pedagogical tradition and styles, transitioned to practical vocational training and became proponents of modernism. Their programs took steps to diversify the architectural profession in terms of race/ethnicity and gender. The graduates of their programs introduced advances in building codes and designed significant architectural landmarks.

Full textAbstract:
Following the national scientific tradition, the core of the profession "architect" can be defined as a continuum of competencies common to all types of architectural work. In turn, competencies consist of specialized skills and knowledge. In the historical process of the development of the profession, new types of competencies appear that form the basis of new specializations. Some of the emerging competencies transfer into the core of the profession on being mastered. The authors of the study have developed a model that allows describing and analyzing the principles of expanding the core of the profession "architect" under the influence of innovative skills and knowledge. The model consists of four basic components: "the profession" architect "; "technological factors", "goal-setting factors" and "architectural-typological factors". The object of the research, based on which the model is built, is the profession “architect”. The three other components of the model are described based on what factors new competencies form and how they affect the expansion of the core of the profession. The article examines the role and place of goal-setting in the general structure of factors that form the profession "architect". The model developed in the study proposes to consider the development of goal-setting factors in architectural design in three main areas: ecosphere, technosphere and society. In turn, each of the directions of goal-setting is considered from the point of view of three main hierarchical levels: strategic, tactical and local. This approach made it possible to identify and analyze the main clusters of competencies that form and expand the core of the profession "architect" under the influence of the goal-setting factor in architectural design.

Abstract Architecture is a profession and business outfit that is facing Management-related challenges at all levels. These problems manifest themselves in various forms ranging from inadequate curriculum coverage, insufficient literature, professional ineptitude, and leadership management competencies flaws to globalization challenges as well as low Architects population ratio among others. This paper assessed management-related knowledge, skills and abilities possessed by Nigerian Architects by using Relative Importance Index to determine areas that Nigerian Architects have competitive advantages or disadvantages. A structured survey questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale was administered to 122 randomly selected Architects, while descriptive statistical analysis provided answers to the research questions and hypothesis. Findings of the paper revealed that Nigerian Architects have Management know how in Design, Time and Project Managements but are lacking in Maintenance, Property and Enterprise Managements to bring about Sustainable Architectural Practice. The result of the study also upheld the null hypothesis that Management Knowledge, Skills and Abilities of Nigerian Architects does not depend on their Academic Qualifications but rejected the null hypothesis that Professional classifications of Nigerian Architects does not influence their Management Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. The paper concluded that Nigerian Architecture curriculum and practice are deficient in essential management knowhow to bring about sustainable Architectural Management practice in the country. The paper, therefore recommends that curriculum and practice of Architecture be rich in management theories and practices for a Sustainable Architectural practice in the country.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to show the range of responsibilities, professional and business titles and the evolution of the system of architectural education, functioning on the territory of selected German states, which in 1871 formed the Second German Reich. Other German-speaking countries, such as Austria or Switzerland, have been omitted, as were those Polish territories under the Prussian and Austrian partition. These issues, despite numerous German-language publications (Bolenz 1991; Schnier 2009; Mai 2012) and English publications (Kostofa 1986), pose many problems for Polish researchers, especially those researching the history of architecture of former German-speaking regions, and the lack of research is not compensated for by modest Polish publications (Serdyńska 2015). The main research questions that are posed concerned issues related to the education of architects and the conditions within their profession. The 18th century was the starting point for my reflections, when the first academic centres for the education of architects in the German-speaking area were established. The thought of the 18th century as a caesura for the architectural profession is also dictated by the effects of the Industrial Revolution, which determined the emergence of professional specialisations in construction and, in the long term, determined the modern understanding of the words architect and engineer. The year 1933 marks the endpoint of the ensuing paper, when, as a result of the takeover of power by the National Socialists, a violent and radical process of building a totalitarian society began in Germany, in which higher education and the fine arts, especially architecture, were subordinated to Nazi ideology.

Following student protests in 1968, the reform of universities began in Yugoslavia. The idea of the humanization of architectural profession and the reform of Belgrade Faculty of Architecture towards the environmental studies was launched. The article examines the impact of the New School on the humanization of the architectural profession as part of a general movement to humanize the society of the sixties, as well as the significant role of Bogdan Bogdanovic in the realisation of such an endeavour. First steps towards creating a New School could be foreseen in Bogdan Bogdanovic's text Arhitektura je nauka (The Architecture is a Science) in 1969, which suggests the introduction of the humanistic disciplines in architectural education as well as in the analytical texts of Professor Branislav Milenkovic ?O nastavi na arhitekstonskom fakultetu? (About Teaching at the Faculty of Architecture, 1945-1968) and assistant lecturer Ranko Radovic ?Ucenje neimarstva? published in the magazine Arhitektura-urbanizam (Architecture-Town Planning) No.52 in 1968. During his stay in America, Bogdanovic gained some experience visiting multidisciplinary schools of environmental design. Analyzing the school curriculum and current trends in the education of architects, he set the basis for the application of environmental design. The reform was carried out transparently with equal participation of students, teachers and former students of the Faculty of Architecture. The team for the creation of the New School, led by Bogdan Bogdanovic, after each meeting published announcements that contained conclusions on the implementation of reforms. These announcements and processed materials represented the content basis of the New School of architecture.

The article deals with the successful interaction of the Baroque builders. The author uses the term “builders” for a tandem architect-client, where the former is a builder by profession, and the latter by mission. The author states that the success of their interaction was due to the commonality of their education. This refers to the European education of that time, Septem artes liberales, which all Europeans then received and which laid the foundation of the Mohyla Academy by its actual founder, Petro Mohyla. The author mentions a number of examples of such tandems of builders and claims that it is a high level of aesthetic culture of a client, his ability to hold a highly professional dialogue with an architect, being in a common frame of reference with him regarding aesthetic and functional rules, systematically resulted in the creation of architectural masterpieces. Ivan Mazepa and Ivan Zarudnyi, Petro Mohyla and Octaviano Mancini, Paolo Romanus and Lviv brothers, Lazar Baranovych and Ivan Samoilovych with Johann Baptist Zauer — these are the names of the Baroque era builders, which the author mentions in this article. The phenomenal universality of non-Ukrainian architects at the execution of orders, particularly in Kyiv, Chernihiv and Mharsk Monastery is put in a special focus. Today, in the 21st century, a fundamentally different and non-standard situation is noted in such a dialogue: an extremely low aesthetic level of a client, lack of basic knowledge of architecture, an absence of good taste, all of which result in disastrous architectural phenomena. One of the reasons is that the cultural industry in the field of education today does not require to cultivate a taste and educate students aesthetically. The destructive consequences of such a short-sighted policy already make themselves felt.In his study, the author analyses the advantages of educational approaches of the Baroque era in general and of artistic and architectural education in particular. He explores the possibilities of applying this experience to eliminate the existing crisis phenomena and contradictions in the formation of the architectural environment. Ukrainian, foreign, soviet and pre-revolutionary sources were used.

A recent conference in San Francisco called Point Break, the place where a wave comes ashore, looked at how the markets, perceived value, and knowledge of the architectural profession appear to be changing and what that means for education, practice, and client relations. It also revealed an astonishing trend in the declining numbers of architecture graduates seeking licensure.
