About this event
The event revolves around the recent publication of the book Beyond the Institution: Transforming the Learning Environment in Architectural Education. The volume discusses how newly established and emerging forms of pedagogy such as distance learning, design-build, collaborative learning, and peer-to-peer practices are calling into question conventional teaching and learning environments, in architecture and other design disciplines. Contributors include Hélène Frichot, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, Lucia Pennati, Jean-Louis Violeau amongst others.
During the event, the book’s co-editors Petra Petersson and Christina Linortner will outline the aims of the publication and share highlights from the contributions. Book contributors Sandra Denicke-Polcher and Jane McAllister will then explore the case of Crossing Cultures, an experiment in education ‘beyond the institution’ that they initiated and have co-led since 2016. Presentations will be followed by a facilitated discussion on the role of pedagogical innovation in questioning the spaces and institutions in which the teaching of architecture takes place.
