We emphasize responsibility of architects. We also

underline some important elements for education in

architecture, having in mind possible ones:

- Architecture as a discipline in charge of creating

universal and long lasting values

- Architecture as a discipline inseparable from major

practical means (technology, construction,

techniques)

- Architecture as a humanistic discipline capable of

improving life quality and social relations

ACTUAL CONTEXT

global issues


5/21


6/21

Some positive influences and

consequences:

- global network overcoming spatial boundaries and

bring us pluralism of ideas and diversity

- the digital development and the computer designtechnologies, advanced construction methods and

techniques, use of new constructing materials-all

these presuppose and offer a wide range of

possibilities for creation and building

- easy and fast access to all information and data


7/21

Some negative influences and

consequences:

- market ideology mixed with political power, more

than ever affect cities development and

architecture

- Everyday we face environmental, socio-economic

and cultural challenges, such as: global warming,

environmental degradation, diminishing non-

renewable resources, population migration

- On the other side, we are witness of typisation of

simple urban solutions and lack of unique andadvantage spaces

- In architectural solution today we do not see

enough respect to regional values and local

tradition and cultural diversity

The very important tasks of 21st century

design education is:

- To understand global issues

- To understand complex reality

- To understand the values of technology

transformation

There is need for architecture:

- which is critical to existing circumstances

- responsible to users needs

- capable to deal with major global challenges

and to solve them


10/21

We would like to emphasize some possible relation

between three contextual elements of architecture

People

Society

Environment

Technology

Architecture


11/21

We could say that is the coordinate system for each

architect, and for education for sure:

- architecture its specific nature- discipline in itself,- fully focused to the peoples needs

- technology based,

- environmentally oriented.


12/21

When we speak about architecture, its

good to have in mind:

- Space is unique

- Urban space is public good

- City space is integral part of public interest

- Building construction and city development are

long term process

- Mistakes in spatial design are difficult to get

improved


13/21

Some ideas and proposals that can be

significant for education


14/21


15/21

DEVELOPMENT SPACE CONCEPTS

- Flexibility for future challenges

- Easy accommodation to future users needs

- Barrier and obstacle free architecture- Space, stimulating for various actual and future

activities

- Space, capable of supporting growth and

development for people and community


16/21

BASIC KNOWLEDGE vs. SPECIALIZATION

Strategy of education in developed countries is

focused on:

- Basic and general knowledge instead of

specialization and atomization of knowledge

- Todays market changes and challenges are

dynamic. Tomorrow will be dramatic.

- It is considered by theoreticians that only

professional education developed on based and

general knowledge will help professionals(architects) to adopt their activity to future market

conditions and challenges


17/21

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AND

HEALTH CARE

Environmental approach - 70s

Ecology principles - 80s

Sustainable development - 90s and later on

Preservation and improvement

of environment + health care - Beginning of 21s

century


18/21

Conditions for preservation and

improvement

- Use of natural and healthy materials

- Use of healthy installations (water instead of air)

- Use of natural factors (enough light, air, silence andgreenery)

- Comfort in dimensions (m2, m3, optimal space

height)

- Enough open space and greenery


19/21

IMPORTANT TASKS FOR ARCHITECTS (?),

to be (re)considered

- Humanizing architectural and urban space

- Create space capable to accommodate various life

styles, existing and future ones- Design ambiance capable to stimulate real human

relations, in family and community

- Develop space which can stimulate growth,

development and creativity
