THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION OF ACADEMIC TRAINING IN ARCHITECTURE IS THE RESULT OF THE REFORM BASED ON THE ROMANIAN TRADITION IN ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION, CONTEMPORARY INFORMATIONS AND INFLUENCES, AS WELL AS ON THE COLLABORATION WITH THE PROFESSIONAL INTERNATIONAL BODIES (UIA UNESCO, EAAE) AND EUROPEAN SCHOOLS OF ARCHITECTURE

Responding to new requirements of a fast changing world:


- an architectural education responsive to the fast changing values of our contemporary culture, of our every day life and attitudes; - an architectural education sensitive to the incredibly fast development of informational technologies;

- an architectural education attentive to an increasingly unstable labor market and more and more specialized professional practice;
- an architectural education prepared to face the big variety of totally new materials and technologies; - an architectural education aware of the rapid deterioration of the environment and the imperative necessity for a built environment less energy consuming and more sustainable; - an architectural education sensitive to the traditional values and local identity.

to stimulate the student to re-assemble sequential


information in a global building concept

15

to teach sustainability as a way of thinking


architecture

16

to privilege process oriented teaching methods

17

to understand architecture as process to include life cycle assessment within design process to consider old buildings as reusable resources
