The Ills of Architectural Education: A Diagnosis

Abstract

The ACSA has not in the past published anonymous contributions; nor does it intend to make a practice of it in the future. However, the absence of the author's name from the manuscript from which this article is printed did not seem to be a good reason for denying the Journal's readers the benefit of his incisive remarks on a subject of such general concern—especially since it appears probable that those remarks were prepared for delivery at an ACSA meeting. Internal evidence in the manuscript suggests that the paper was written about twelve years ago, and some parts of it, which had obviously dated, have been excised. The question is: How much of what is printed here is still true today? Or have we changed all that? The Editor invites answers or comments, in letter form. He also invites the author, to whom surely no apology is due, to reveal his identity.
