Fourth
international Forum on Architectural Education organized by MimED (Association
for Architectural Education) featuring the theme “Flexibility” is going
to be held at Faculty of Architecture, Erciyes University in Kayseri, a
major city in the prominent Capadocia region of Turkey in May 26-29,
2009. The forum is organized with the motive that scholars and
practitioners from all over the world will come together in order to
interrogate the current nature of architectural education.
Today, both in criticism and approach the evaluation of knowledge and
its plural processes of production within the intellectual milieu stand
on a slippery ground. On this ground, the changing position(s) of the
individual is one of the motivating forces behind creativity and novelty.
As in any other field, to keep the pendulum – which oscillates between
transformations and variations and can be conceptualized by
inconsistence- on the side of the authenticity of the word is a problem
which needs to be re-visited in architectural education. The inquiry
into whether the authenticity of the word is a problem which needs to be
isolated from any ideological affiliation or not, has already been done
through several discourses of the intellectual milieu of the 20th
century. While triggering various architectural attitudes in production,
these different answers also have implications for architectural
education itself.
Today, what seems unavoidable for architectural education is to
internalize informal instruments and media in order to be more flexible
and far-reaching. Forcing the limits of participation in terms of
criticism and emancipation, this attitude will provide progressive
development of institutional reflexes. In a century where ideological
and physical boundaries are vanishing, new sets of relationships emerge
between disciplines, individuals and institutions. Within this context,
the forum aims at discussing (but is not limited to) the following
topics:
Knowledge in
architecture
- limits of acquired knowledge
- multi/inter/trans disciplinary - attitude to other developments and
thinking
- multi/inter/trans disciplinary approaches
- auxiliary information/data/knowledge
- research by design
Content of architectural education
- notion of architectural design
- meaning in architectural education
- consideration of history phenomenon
- theory as the core of architectural education
- context and cultural strategies
Approaches in architectural education
- teaching methods
- new strategies and trends for studio teaching
- impact of representation media
- interactions between new materials, techniques and design
- flexibility by holistic approaches
- roles and features of architectural educators
- interactions between actors of architectural education
- diversified mediums for architectural education
