Authorship, Representation, and Judgement in the Making of the Architect

This chapter attempts to dive into the deep foundations of the jury culture in architectural education without directly addressing its practices today. Instead, it proposes to decipher, dismantle, and conceivably deconstruct the cultural and disciplinary mechanism in crafting the architect-figure by looking into the history of architectural education through three lenses: judgement, authorship, and representation.

All three being cultural constructs; these lenses suggest a framework to examine architectural education in its centuries-long mission of crafting the architect persona.
