Designing the Architect: Reshaping Architectural Pedagogy in the Information Age
January 26, 2015 |
Ryerson University’s Master of Architecture Class of 2016 invites architects, industry professionals, academics, and students to a symposium titled “Designing the Architect: Reshaping Architectural Pedagogy in the Information Age”, engaging in discussions on architectural education in the current epoch. Grounded in the remarkable legacy of creating Architecture, the role of the architect and student is rapidly changing. In this context, our notion of “architect” in today’s world must likewise evolve, right from the outset of his learning. Framed around three areas of focus, this symposium will assess architectural education through the lenses of interdisciplinary practice, the digital, and sustainable issues. In response to the paradigm shift, how will the learning environment establish lateral connections, advancing the student in other areas of knowledge? How will education embrace the ‘digital’, its new methods of representation as well as enhanced capacity of material design and fabrication? Finally, how does this extend beyond the current and into the future of education, design, and practice of Architecture?
