The problem of architecture education: too much focus on starchitects with too little focus on the real issues of the world.
Many view architecture as a noble profession, as an luxury. We need to humble ourselves.
“On a global level 1:7 people live in unplanned settlements, favelas, refugee camps or internally displaced camps. Close to 5 billion people live in inadequate living conditions and have little access to education, health care and adequate sanitation. Almost none of these communities utilize the services of design professionals”
What is the use of the architect 10, 20 years from now?
When will architecture schools stray from the starchitects and focus on core issues of humanity?
