The Pedagogical Ethic: Beyond the Practical Imperative
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate the ways technology is affecting the architectural practice at an educational level.
- Provide examples of student coursework that have the potential to shape the future of architecture.
Credits:
Tehrani will discuss how the license to explore ideas through technology—without the immediate demand for professional results—remains an important part of the pedagogical ethic. In turn, the very academic freedom that is part of the educational experience allows for the type of latitude that can have far-reaching critical results, opening up new arenas for practice.
