Socially situated Architectural Pedagogies

<< Objectives >>The Socially situated Architectural Pedagogies project aims at fostering socially situated forms of architectural pedagogies paired with innovation in HEIs and beyond.Its objectives (targeted towards both educators and learners) include: situating architectural curricula closer to societal challenges; experimenting innovative tools and learning environments; engage and empower non-academic organisations and partners; contribute towards shaping the role of the architect as an active citizen.<< Implementation >>The activities are grouped in four, WP1 includes management activities, WP2 includes researching, documenting, and mapping socially situated pedagogical approaches, tools and methods, in order to prepare an open source repository. WP3 includes implementing teaching and learning activities through experimental studios, summer schools, and workshops, all of which provide insights to a yearly activity of developing new syllabi and curricula. WP4 includes outreach and dissemination activities.<< Results >>The main expected results of SArPe can be summarised as development of new skills and learning approaches that are digitally responsive, innovative, inclusive, and socially situated; development of architectural curricula with revised modules by placing architectural pedagogy closer to social challenges and practising inclusive participatory models of teaching and learning; and engagement with and impact on wider network of actors.
