• Conversation with Kevin Mark Low on The Balanced Education Model - Part 2

  Send us a textThe continuation discussion on a "Conversation with Kevin Mark Low on The Balanced Education Model - Part 2", with your host, Naziaty Mohd Yaacob, concentrates on these points on architecture education:1. The obsession with 'formalism' and having an identity to build a brand giving 'false confidence' to a graduate.2. Focus need to be on the 'power of relationships' when dealing with building type, for example "an airport is not about a gateway, but how to accommodate a large volume of people", therefore understanding rather than just looking at a 'series of relationships' is imperative.3. Guidance (rather than collaboration) from a teacher (tutor) providing proper mentorship rather than 'influencers' which are not guides, to develop a critical designer, thinker or teacher is needed.Bonus: A discussion on a student designing their thesis using an app in which he created.

• Conversation with Kevin Mark Low on The Balanced Education Model - Part 1

  Send us a textYou are welcome to listen to a "Conversation with Kevin Mark Low on The Balanced Education Model - Part 1"[Talk Architecture Podcast with your host, Naziaty Mohd Yaacob]The first episode highlights the education systems particularly the Greek Civilisation's influence on current university models on liberal arts, which is all about "relationships". The idea that everything is interrelated such as 'space and time'. Kevin Mark Low explains this fundamental aspects of education, would now be lost as "75% of what we study now is less of studying about relationships", focusing more on serving "reputations" in this day and age. Further explanation is given in this episode on an example of an individual doing original work for a balanced education model, rather than organisations and institutions. The problem of 'copy-paste' approach to current education models being the norm, as we need creativity to be about 'problem solving' and not 'solution finding'.[More in Part 2, so please listen to both in sequence]© 2025 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob.

• Form-making in Art and Architecture: The Role of Functionalism and the Bauhaus [Part 1]

  Send us a textThe first part of this series explains the mastery of designing with “the plan and section” is now a missing skill in current architecture education where schools of architecture neglect this very important skill by allowing students to design with 3D modeling first and emphasizing too much on this aspect. This discussion focused on how the emergence of Functionalism and the Bauhaus influences has been disregarded since digital architecture emerged and how architecture education has lost its way in the fundamental decision making in the design process. This then affects the quality of graduates who became not good enough to be architects. Form-making is not just to do with embellishment but adopting the right aesthetic principles from the very beginning of the training to be an architect. © 2024 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobThe image by Ross Sokolovski on UnsplashSupport the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.
