Educational systems

In 2011, UIA and UNESCO have written a Charter for Architectural Education*, where they state the following idea:

“We, the architects, concerned for the future qualitative development of the built environment in a fast changing world, believe that architecture involves everything that influences the way in which the built environment is planned, designed, made, used, furnished, landscaped and maintained. We feel responsible for the improvement of the education and training of future architects to enable them to meet the expectations of XXIst century societies worldwide for sustainable human settlements in every cultural heritage.”

This feeling of responsibility is highlighted by the new european instructions concerning architectural education and the free circulation of the profession.

Within this event we have invited higher education institutions from Romania, Hungary and Serbia, intending to discover how they adapt to these new responsibilities, intentions and conditions. What are their strategies? What have they learned lately from Europe and, moreover, what can we learn from each other?

The conference series will be followed by a round table moderated by the President of the Romanian Architects’ Chamber. The discussion aims to connect the challenges and strategies of the academic environment with those of the architectural profession. In a time when all roads lead to a reconciliation between the two, we wonder if this intention can actually become reality in the near future, in this part of Europe.

Ioan Andreescu

The architectural profession, beyond its practic and legal determinations, is so versatile and polymorphous that every seeker ends up finding, more or less, what he was looking for. After a few decades of theory, pedagogy and professional practice I have reached a moderately uncertain position: the practice of this profession is a way of evolution. both individual and collective, yet on one condition: the practitioner must be aware of his limitations and the complexity of the chosen subject. Such as Heisenberg's theory, the way you investigate changes the research field; the architect's qualities as an intelectual subject and person of spiritual aspirations are mandatory, the gate to uncertainty lies wide open.
