Architecture can be disrupted, like any other old and obsolete systems from the last century.

In the new world, architecture entrepreneurs in whatever form, such as academics or professionals, have in their minds, the idea of 'simplifying' the contrived and complicated systems of university accreditation and rankings among other things, obviously stifling the profession.

In this deliberation, we are trying to understand the two sides of the coin of 'architecture': head is education and tail is practice, but hang on, there is only one architecture and not 2 sides. The education part does affect the practice part. It has been said over and over again. That is why we feel that there are 2 sides.

This is how we start the New Architectural Curriculum.

After this episode, I will propose a New Curriculum for the Education of the Architect, a simplified and stronger version by proposing a framework to create the optimum learning experience for the future architect. If the graduate do not want to follow the path to be a professional architect, they do not have to be contented to be "half an architect" or an "architect without a professional licence". They could have a bold, brighter and wonderful career doing whatever they wish to do.

However, this episode explains in detail what is the "magic formula" in learning to be an architect proven with the success of the second year studio design curriculum that a number of successful people turned out to be.

A more detailed description of how the tutors structured and run the architectural design studio programs for 2 semesters with the 2013-14 batch and how we managed the learning experience of the students.

We believe that year long program not only created a decisively effective outcome for future architects but also any other pathways like film-making and art. It fulfil the learning experience in terms of observational skill, analytical and critical thinking as proposed before. Together as one whole studio, we created collaborations and added other skills like the ability to conduct interviews and case studies as well.

This magic formula provided enough learning to equip the students with skills and knowledge to springboard their respective careers, with high confidence levels.
