Oxford Conference 2008: Architectural Education

The Oxford Conference 2008: Resetting the Agenda for Architectural Education
22-23 July 2008

In 1958 the first Oxford Conference set an agenda for architectural education that has been followed for 50 years. This agenda needs
radical change to meet the evolving drivers of costs of energy and construction, shifting social values and environmental crises and to
create a new generation of buildings that are part of the solution to these crises - not the problem

The time has come to re-evaluate and change much of what we teach, how we teach it and to understand
why we teach it. Be part of that change! Join us in Oxford in July 2008.
