Formal architectural education took birth when built forms found expression and representation in the form of plans, elevations and sections, value added with perspective views... on paper, parchment and cloth, in pencil, pen and ink producing the 'blueprint' for building...
Architectural education came of age, after a long childhood of playing with pencil and pen, when the digital era dawned on humanity. Architecture could be now virtual... before getting built in the real world...
The method of imparting education in architecture has always lagged behind the realities of profession ever since the digital world took over means of representation and production of architectural drawings.
If Education Today has to meet the needs of profession tomorrow, a radical shift is required in the contents of the Syllabus and the way teaching-learning process is happening. Digital Studios with state of the art software, Computer Programming, Shape Grammar and 3D Geometry, Hands on Workshops - Structure, Construction and MEP, 3D printing technology, CNC cutting tools etc. are a must in a New Age Syllabus.
Architecture is claimed to be Mother of all arts...
But Architecture today appears to be Father of all Technologies...
It is time to re-write the syllabus and start from Syllabus Ver. 0
