Questioning Architecture Schools in the Middle of an Industry Downturn

An interesting point/counter-point between architect Tim Ronalds and architecture school head, Richard Hayward called “Are Architecture Schools Turning Into Factory Farms?” over at Building Design. The point of the piece is obvious, based off the title, of course. Ronalds says yes, explaining that there are more students, fewer teachers, and instruction so rigid as to not allow for much originality. Hayward says no, saying that schools still do foster creativity, but does accept that there’s a problem within the industry as a whole.
