ABSTRACT
The average architectural student does not come out of school being an architect—the author mean a complete architect—because his architectural education is limited to one-third of the world, to thinking that represents only one third of the world, and certainly he has a responsibility to himself and to environments generally to explore what is happening in the rest of the world—what is happening that is of architectural significance in Africa, and what is happening of architectural significance in Asia, and it seems to me if he began to explore those things he would be a much better architect. The education at present is inadequate, because it’s just studied as an art form and nothing else. One of the problems for architects particularly is that they get almost no political education in architectural school. Or nothing that would encourage them to do any kind of community work. Most architectural schools are kind of ivory towerish.
