Essential Shifts: Ecological & Climate Emergencies in Architectural Education
Essential Shifts: Ecological & Climate Emergencies in Architectural Education
Architecture Fringe x Missing in Architecture x Scott Sutherland School of Architecture
01 June 2022
Online
with Kathy Li and Gillian Wishart
A morning of provocation and co-learning exploring how we deliver a responsive education to the ecological and climate emergencies in architectural education.
We are in an ecological and climate emergency and architects a have huge positive role to play in reducing our impact on both planet and people. The situation requires a rapid response in architecture schools. How can we help each other to define and deliver an architectural education fit for today, to shift inertia and increase momentum?
Essential Shifts is a half day on-line symposium to showcase and debate how architectural education is responding to the emergencies. Join us to hear educators and students talk about their projects and discuss them with our key speakers. How can we make our own courses better? We hope you'll leave inspired to incorporate pedagogic changes for the next academic year, and beyond!
