Fourth international Forum on Architectural Education organized by MimED (Association for Architectural Education) featuring the theme “Flexibility” is going to be held at Faculty of Architecture, Erciyes University in Kayseri, a major city in the prominent Capadocia region of Turkey between 26 - 29 May 2009. The forum is organized with the motive that scholars and practitioners from all over the world will come together in order to interrogate the current nature of architectural education.
Today, both in criticism and approach the evaluation of knowledge and its plural processes of production within the intellectual milieu stand on a slippery ground. On this ground, the changing position(s) of the individual is one of the motivating forces behind creativity and novelty. As in any other field, to keep the pendulum -which oscillates between transformations and variations and can be conceptualized by inconsistence- on the side of the authenticity of the word is a problem which needs to be re-visited in architectural education. The inquiry into whether the authenticity of the word is a problem which needs to be isolated from any ideological affiliation or not, has already been done through several discourses of the intellectual milieu of the 20th century. While triggering various architectural attitudes in production, these different answers also have implications for architectural education itself.
Today, what seems unavoidable for architectural education is to internalize informal instruments and media in order to be more flexible and far-reaching. Forcing the limits of participation in terms of criticism and emancipation, this attitude will provide progressive development of institutional reflexes. In a century where ideological and physical boundaries are vanishing, new sets of relationships emerge between disciplines, individuals and institutions. Within this context, the forum aims at discussing (but is not limited to) the following topics:
Knowledge in Architecture
- limits of acquired knowledge
- multi/inter/trans disciplinary - attitude to other developments and thinking
- multi/inter/trans disciplinary approaches
- auxiliary information/data/knowledge
- research by design
Content of Architectural Education
- notion of architectural design
- meaning in architectural education
- consideration of history phenomenon
- theory as the core of architectural education
- context and cultural strategies
Approaches in Architectural Education
- teaching methods
- new strategies and trends for studio teaching
- impact of representation media
- interactions between new materials, techniques and design
- flexibility by holistic approaches
- roles and features of architectural educators
- interactions between actors of architectural education
- diversified mediums for architectural education
