Learning from architectural education

The author puts forward a series of fundamental questions about (the lack of) research on architectural education. After an introduction, the author breaks down three main questions: Why to study architectural education? How to study architectural education? And, finally: What to study in architectural education? The text includes comments on fallacies, opportunities and risks of architectural education and research in the field. It concludes that generating knowledge about architecture and architectural education is paramount in the process of constructing architecture as a discipline. Moreover, it is argued that anyone who performs research on architectural education will subsequently develop a better understanding of both architecture and the world.
