| Summary: | <p class="first" id="d3313001e117">This article argues that the typical architectural studio is both outmoded and irresponsible.
It is outmoded because it typically is organized around a nineteenth-century model
of design virtuosity, and it is irresponsible because it ignores pressing and current
spatial justice problems. It also takes to task the aura of the academic setting in
which the formally motivated studio reigns supreme. In lieu of this model of architectural
education, the article argues for an education that empowers graduates to tackle the
major problems that society currently faces: housing, climate, income inequality/unemployment
and health. To do this, it acknowledges but suggests overthrowing the many institutional
hurdles keeping architectural education attached to the status quo.
