Description
The second part of our proposal of the Basics of A School of Architecture is on: "How are we teaching sustainability?" I referred to my architectural theory notes from this semester, defining the difference between 'green building' and 'sustainability'. My opinion is that we are in danger of not teaching properly 'sustainability' to future architects. The root of the problem is partly due to us lecturers, either unaware of this fact or being afraid to deal with urbanity, urban design, neighborhoods, and community issues, leaving it to the planners to 'design' our cities with 'developers'. By not being critical, we risk aiding and abetting teaching our students to design isolated communities and support disparity in income by creating alienating development. We need to seriously rethink the way we teach 'sustainability' because time is running out and we do not want to be the profession that is the cause of our society's problems. © 2022 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobPhoto (artwork): "Fishmonger at Sandakan market in 2019" by Naziaty Mohd YaacobSupport the show
