Thanks to SLB Education, the The University of Texas at Austin is pioneering a new approach to architectural education with the next iteration of its innovative design studio, “Time for Timber-FRAMING.” Through collaboration with the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas, students are engaged in real-world projects that equip them with the skills needed for modern wood construction systems and foster a deep understanding of wood as a material, its properties, and its role within sustainable architectural practices.

Assistant Professor Dr. Asma Mehan, PhD together with Teaching Assistant Jessica Stuckemeyer have published an article in the Dimensions Journal of Architectural Education. Their article, "Collaborative Pedagogical Practices in the Era of Radical Urban Transitions," appears in the journal's Special Issue titled "Collaborations: Rethinking Architectural Design," edited by Elettra Carnelli, Federico Marcolini, Fabio Marino, and Rafael Sousa Santos. In this work, Dr. Mehan and Ms. Stuckemeyer explore the evolving demands on architectural education in the face of rapid urban changes. Their research argues for the integration of collaborative and innovative teaching methodologies and the adaptation and enhancement of teaching strategies to meet contemporary challenges, which they argue are crucial for preparing future architects to effectively respond to and shape the ever-changing urban landscapes.

📖 Please join us in extending a huge congratulations to assistant professor of architecture at the UK College of Design, Galo Canizares, and co-editor Zach Cohen on their recent publication. The book, titled "Homing the Machine in Architecture," is a series of conversations on the ways designers, practitioners, historians, and theorists orient themselves within the world of architectural digital fabrication. From the editors: "The discourse that emerges from this collection aims to reach practicing architects using digital fabrication, as well as upper-level students and academics of digital architecture, architectural theory, and architectural history." 👀 Hardback, paperback, and digital copies are available at the link below along with more information about the book's contents and ideas. https://lnkd.in/eb_enhHj

✨ Embracing Connectivity: A Reflection on the Unifying Power of Bridges 🌉 🌉 Bridges symbolize more than mere physical connections. They serve as conduits for conversations and journeys, facilitating the flow of life between two points. Reflecting on their significance, the varying sizes of these architectural marvels are categorized with green dots, signifying that each one, regardless of scale, embodies the same unifying purpose. Every bridge, whether grand or humble, carries the essence of connectivity, showcasing its distinct function while harmoniously blending with its surroundings. Let's appreciate the profound impact of these structures, fostering unity and embracing the context within which they exist. 🌳 This artwork was created for our ‘Bridges – Synergy between engineering and architecture‘ lecture by Ian Firth.

“Architects understand that buildings are never designed to be analyzed using art historical methods. It’s about inhabitation, it’s about space, it’s about function." —Robert McCarter, Ruth and Norman Moore Professor of Architecture We asked McCarter to share insight into his work as an architect, teacher, and author of 25 books, including his latest volume on the successful but short-lived architect Robert Ernest. https://lnkd.in/dGXETSei

Architect | Urban designer | Educator | Yoga teacher - Healer Looking at effects of the environment on health through design & psychology
The spaces we design and build shape our experiences and further play a part in shaping us... and personally I feel Spirituality is one such aspect that needs to be understood and looked into while designing spaces
Professor, Architect and Author of “Spirituality in Architectural Education” | 30+ years in architectural design, communication, and theory. Expert in culture, spirituality, and neuroscience.
In "Spirituality in Architectural Education," I examine the rich connections between architecture, culture, and spirituality. This book is an invitation to rethink how we design spaces, highlighting that beauty in architecture goes beyond mere aesthetics. It’s an essential element that enriches our daily experiences and deepens our connection with the environments we inhabit. This book advocates a shift in architectural thought, focusing on the aesthetic and spiritual dimensions that make our built environments not just functional but also soulful and meaningful. "Spirituality in Architectural Education" is available now for those who are eager to embark on this enlightening journey and redefine the role of beauty in architecture.

What can architecture teach us about the classist division of space? As architects, we tend to lean on abstract techniques and theories which force us to neglect our social responsibility to create spaces that aren’t devoid of contact with reality. By only focusing on formal current designs and planning processes we neglect the obvious response to a dire need. This response being informality (informal urbanization). My love for informality grew as I became more hands on with the homes, people and challenges within the space. Yes I can never fully understand the concept but I have a great desire to spark a thinking and conversation in the architectural space. Informal spaces and livelihoods have the potential to create a better understanding of the concept of our contemporary world.

“Do you actually need a building?” may seem like an unusual question from an architect. But it’s a central one for Patricia Gruits (B.S. Arch ’04, M.Arch ’06), whose education at Taubman College, where she was a Taubman Scholar, taught her an openness and way of thinking based on leveraging design to solve problems, not just design buildings. Gruits is forging her own path as an architect and leading the design field to expand its concept of what constitutes architecture and how impactful the profession can be.
