PUBLIC DEBATE
New Directions in Architecture Education
DAY 2: Panel 3: Collaboration between Architecture Education and Non-Academic Partners
IAES Berlin has generously been made possible by the Cassiopeia Foundation.
3rd International Architectural Education Summit
13 - 14 September 2013
New Directions in Architecture Education
Conceptualised and organised by UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design, Los Angeles; ANCB The Metropolitan Laboratory, Berlin; IE School of Architecture, Madrid in collaboration with the Cassiopeia Foundation, Düsseldorf. The summit provided a platform for exploring approaches to address new directions in architecture education. It broadened and deepened the continuous ANCB debate, which started with its inaugural symposium 'Educating the Global Architect' in 2009. The 3rd IAES in Berlin focused on the acute issues at the intersection of three thematic panels: ‘The Role of Alternative Architecture Education Platforms’, ‘Interdisciplinary Strategies in Architecture Education’ and ‘Collaboration between Architecture Education and Non-Academic Partners’. The summit was dedicated to fostering a constructive dialogue between leading academics, practitioners, policy makers and industry representatives concerned with ideas to take architecture education forward.

DAY 1: Panel 1: The Role of Alternative Architecture Education Plarforms
Limited by their institutional structures most universities are not able to react in their curriculum or with their teaching methods to acute architectural, social and environmental demands. This is one of the reasons why an increasing number of alternative education platforms all over the world emerge. All of these platforms take up a position, which includes the non-traditional, the non-conventional, or the non-standardised in contrast to traditional architecture schools. With their creative energy, participants of theses platforms, students and tutors, assemble, edit and produce knowledge, which is related to observations beyond pure architecture knowledge. This panel aims at introducing, comparing and discussing the meaning of alternative architecture education platforms between the political, the economic and the cultural spheres of society for today and tomorrow.

Podium discussion moderated by Lukas Feireiss - 00:34:30 - 01:47:57
DAY 1: Panel 2: Interdisciplinary Strategies in Architecture Education
Qualitative factors, which influence the value of urban environments, become more and more complex. Social, political, economical and environmental demands challenge the architect to rethink traditional strategies of organising and producing architecture and urban space. Therefore architecture education needs to comprise new teaching methodologies, which broaden the understanding of interdisciplinarity in general and prepare the architect for an interdisciplinary design process. This panel aims at discussing values, goals and organisations of current interdisciplinary strategies, both in architecture education and in professional design processes.

DAY 2: Panel 3: Collaboration between Architecture Education and Non-Academic Partners
Research and design strategies in architecture education need to oscillate between pure theoretical approaches and different ways of relating them to practice. Today there are numerous examples of how architecture education platforms provide a rich condition to enter the real world. These platforms usually collaborate with municipalities, civil society, governance and industry to share, question and answer actual demands and expectations by young architects and non-academic partners. This panel discusses these described issues by initially investigating specific collaborative strategies and real-life examples in respect to new models comprising educational methods and non-academic processes.

- How can architecture education prepare for collaboration with non-academic partners such as governments and industry?
- How can architecture education in itself create a collaborative condition with non-academic partners?
- How can we establish continuous communication to share and evaluate demands and expectations?
- How can architecture education act as an open-source platform, in this respect?
