Architectural education has seen relatively little change in fifty years, although our societies, cities and the practice of architecture are now almost unrecognisable. This lecture reflects on the relationships and forms of dialogue between the academy and the architectural profession and posits a series of questions as to the skills, knowledge and competencies new generations of architects might need, where and how these might be learned and whose responsibility it is to teach them. It will present the traditional relationships of these two bodies and explore how that dialogue might be more beneficial both in how and what we teach within the academy and how students learn in practice and particularly in the ways we might consider more collaborative research such that it is beneficial for the profession, for universities and as part of student learning – as part of being an ‘architectural apprentice’. The lecture draws on experience and expertise from a lifetime in higher education and on the work of scholars from architecture, arts, humanities and social sciences in particular Manuel Castells and Richard Sennett. It asks questions of our current educational and professional frameworks and their capacity to develop a more open dialogue in the interests of architecture.
