Preface
-
The conference, entitled “New Dimensions”, focused primarily on the increase in scale and the overlapping of disciplines in the practice and education of architects, urbanists and landscape architects. The Faculty of Architecture CTU considers the overlapping of these disciplines in its educational programmes and wants to discuss and share its experience on this topic.

With each of the EAAE Annual Conferences, we delve into a topic we are concerned with in our everyday lives as architectural educators, researchers and leaders.

The panel was opened by a lecture by landscape architect Eric Luiten, defending his position that today’s multi-dimensional, comprehensive spatial programs and projects require explicit disciplinary experience, input and responsibilities. Along with this, he argues that the training of spatial designers should be focused on the transfer of knowledge, repertoire, skills and behaviour that can be recognised as...

The panel was moderated by Regina Loukotová, architect, teacher and the Rector of the first private international school of architecture ARCHIP (Architectural Institute in Prague) in the Czech Republic, that she founded in 2011. The panel was preceded with a lecture by Inaki Alday who stressed the mandate for architecture: to solve problems – starting with providing shelter; and understanding that the new challenges have grown in scale and are the product of previous practices. The universality of the education and practice in our fields relies today in our shared objectives – the impact...
