ABSTRACT
The school of architecture was organized by the traditional undergraduate studio method. At the time, the school offered a five-year B.Arch. degree, with design studio beginning year one. Remarks were intended to help the student understand how their forms were or were not representing their stated purpose. In 1967 the school of architecture made the transition from a five-year to a 4+2-year program. Diverging from the traditional case-study method of design education, the new syllabus described a process approach to design. The approach deconstructed the design process into three elements or dimensions: resources, actions, and needs. A 'Unit of Design' was a cube with the dimensions: a fact, an act, and a value. Louis Kahn provided as many insights as a practicing architect as he did as a teacher. Louis Kahn brought feeling and poetry to architecture with respect for the aspirations of man.
