The last decade has seen a substantial increase in interest in the history of architectural education. This book widens the geographical scope beyond local school histories and sets out to discover the very distinct materialities and technologies of schooling as active agents in the making of architectural schools. Architectural Education Through Materiality argues that knowledge transmission cannot be reduced to software the relatively easily detectable ideas in course notes and handbooks but also has to be studied in close relation to the hardware of for instance wall pictures textiles campus designs slide projectors and even bodies. Presenting illustrated case studies of works by architects educators and theorists including Dalibor Vesely Dom Hans van der Laan Alessandro Mendini Heinrich Wölfflin Alfons Hoppenbrouwers Joseph Rykwert Pancho Guedes and Robert Cummings and focusing on student led educational initiatives in Europe the UK North America and Australia the book will inspire students educators and professionals with an interest in the many ways architectural knowledge is produced and taught Objects on display : learning through looking Hands on : learning through manual work Bodies in space : synesthetic learning Learning by technologies : audio visual transmissions.
