Author Description

Formation - Architectural Education in a Nordic Perspective is a joint venture of 17 Schools of Architecture in the Nordic and Baltic countries, showing what architectural education is about, how it can be structured, what it contains, how it is planned, and what kind of results it produces or should produce. What does it demand to teach architecture-what does it demand of the students of architecture, and of the teachers? Different architectural topics are presented and educational processes shown, together with works of the students. Additionally, there are 5 articles/interviews with internationally renowned architects, such as Juhani Pallasmaa, William J.R. Curtis, Harriet Harriss, Harald Røstvik and Veronika Valk-Siske, who give their view on teaching architecture.
