The Inter-disciplinary Nature of Architecture - Architecture Design Education

Send us Fan MailAn introduction to the "inter-disciplinary nature of architecture" by discussing based on "architecture design education" referring to some works currently being explored at Unit 2 Design Thesis Studio at UM School of Architecture. We probe and question on: Why does architecture straddle the two main branches of human knowledge (Science and Humanities). It is because Architecture is about the planning, designing and constructing of form, space and ambiance to reflect functional, technical, social, environmental and aesthetic considerations. Of course, the word architecture nowadays also includes other designed systems, especially in information technology (referring to computer architecture). Also, architecture nowadays is not just about perfecting human culture but also about being environmentally conscious, e.g. by making creative solutions to energy and waste problems. Support the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.
