From the application to Chalmers for the funding of our\u00a0evaluation project<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The study trip is a central element\u00a0in the architect\u2019s education. Nothing compares to experiencing architecture on the spot, in all of its material tangibility and spatial dimension. An acquaintance with the humanities and creative arts and their relation to architecture is\u00a0also a central element\u00a0in the architect\u2019s education, according to the 1985 EU directive for architecture<\/a> (II:3:2\u20133). How this can be provided for in the architect\u2019s education needs to be discussed continuously.<\/p>\n

This application aims to deepen such a discussion by way of an evaluation of a remarkably successful elective course,\u00a0\u00a0ARK380 Material theory of architecture. The course is open to students from all years of the Architecture as well as the\u00a0Architecture and Technology study\u00a0programme. In the three years that the course has been given, it has been completed by ca 50 students each year. In this years installment, the fourth, 100 students have applied. The interest shows that the course fulfills a need, both in its way to broaden [notion of] the study trip by way of literature and film about the city to visit, and thereby also to strengthen\u00a0the humanistic perspective and the connection between art and science.\u00a0The course is pursued as a\u00a0series of literature seminars, a concluding study trip (to a new city each year), and an examination in the form of an exhibition where the students interpret the city in drawings, photographs and writings.<\/p>\n

The evaluation and development will take the form of interviews with former\u00a0students, the teachers\u2019 reflections about the course, and the scrutiny of a visiting committee\u00a0consisting of teachers and researchers from schools of architecture in Sweden and abroad with particular competence in the area. We believe that this kind of course is uncommon also in an international perspective, even though it deals with questions that are decisive for the architect\u2019s profession and its present development. For this reason, it is especially valuable to have it evaluated, and we claim that it can add\u00a0elements [to the education as a whole]\u00a0that all students of architecture\u00a0could profit from as well as contribute to the collegial discussion within the department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
