Architecture Schools are Broken - But a Renaissance is Coming

In this video, The Aesthetic City dives into architectural education. What architects learn in school largely influences what they will do later in the field. And as we all know, we face a crisis in our cities with buildings that are increasingly ugly, inhumane and alienating. The disconnect between what architects design and what our populations want, and our society needs, is an urgent issue. In this video they look at how architectural education used to be, how it is now, what the problems are, but also look at hopeful developments that are taking place all over the world. Because a true renaissance is coming in architecture education, as multiple schools start teaching the lost arts of building again. We hear stories of multiple students and visit universities in the US to see how we could move architecture towards a better future.
