Full Description
Architectural education in the United Kingdom performs a difficult balancing act: meeting the requirements of professional accreditation bodies and preparing students for practice, while also offering a meaningful education for those who do not intend to become architects. Increasingly, professional pressures frame architectural education as training rather than as an exploratory, experimental process - one that equips students to face unpredictable future challenges in the profession and beyond.
In response, many educators develop a hidden curriculum: an implicit set of values, methods, and priorities that sit alongside formal learning outcomes. This hidden curriculum tends to privilege curiosity, criticality, and open-ended inquiry, often through interdisciplinary and art-based approaches. Working in the gaps between what can be specified and what must be discovered, they complicate the "university-to-practice conveyor belt" narrative and widen what architectural education can be.
This book shines a light on those creative pedagogical practices—working within, and often despite, systemic pressures - and shows why they matter for the vitality of architectural education at a time of deep uncertainty across higher education. It is organised into two parts: Discussions, which offer in-depth explorations of current challenges, and Insights, which present a selection of case studies. Together, they argue for architectural education as a space that cultivates imagination, agency, and adaptive ways of thinking - qualities essential for shaping futures that are not yet known.
The book provides essential reading for educators and advanced students of architecture.
