SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE

INTRODUCTION
Architecture education must facilitate the understanding of time and space of an individual. The changes attention
will have to be paid to the learning climate in the school. Research in higher education on the social context of
school, department and institution and that student learn as much from the context as their interactions and that
student learn as much from the context as their interactions with subject knowledge. What and how they learn is
strongly influenced by how they perceive and act out their relationship with their teachers and other students.

Studio tutors who plan to set up learning situations to encourage student reflections, independent and
collaboration will undoubtedly have to refine or develop their own skills and reflect on how they work out in
teaching practice. This will require school to create framework and opportunity to support the learning and
development of architecture tutors.

Architecture education must take in account that it is human endeavor concerned with the physical, social and
mental well-being of the student as their intellectual growth.

Six points that articulate the general plan of

architecture education are:
