CALL FOR PAPERS due 28 September 2007
In 1958 the first Oxford Conference set an agenda for architectural education that has been followed for 50 years. This agenda needs radical change to meet the evolving drivers of costs of energy and construction, shifting social values and environmental crises and to create a new generation of buildings that are part of the solution to these crises - not part of the problem.
The time has come to re-evaluate and change much of what we teach, how we teach it and to understand why we teach it. Be part of that change! Join us in Oxford in July 2008.
