Teaching Architecture: A Dialogue

On teaching and research in architecture

What are the pressing questions in architecture – in teaching, research and practice? Based on their many years of experience, professors Inès Lamunière and Laurent Stalder come together in five meetings to search for answers. They describe an approach to architecture that is based on intellect as well as intuition and is both strict and pragmatic. And they sketch out creative processes that are indispensable in the development of projects with all their constraints in order to master the future challenges faced by the art of building.

• Architecture needs specific methods of research and teaching
• Methods for the design of built forms and for practical and theoretical research
• Researching urban design development via new esthetical and formal processes
