Architecture Here and There

Stefanos Polyzoides, dean of Notre Dame’s famous classicist architecture school and chairman of this year’s prize jury, had this to say: Rob Krier’s built work demonstrates a mastery of fine art, design and construction.

Architecture Here and There

OCTOBER 6, 2023

Construction of the planned 42-story pyramidal tower in Paris called The Triangle designed by Herzog & de Meuron began last year and is scheduled for completion in 2026. I have broached this topic a number of times on TradArch and Pro-Urb and in my blog posts without much response. It needs merely to be shifted into a higher gear.

I believe architectural education needs to train architects to recognize and harness our innate desire to create. Architecture school need to teach architects how to better listen, communicate, as well as design. His blog, Saved By Design has received over 100,000 hits in the last few years. Its silly to say “Change.”

One of the most common themes of these emails is that architecture school is nothing like working in the real world. My parents thought I should go into a different major, but I really wanted to be an architect, so I went to architecture school. I was still in architecture school as everyone else graduated.
