The end of domination of star-schools of architecture is my newest article at sztuka-architektury.pl (follow the link if you are fluent in polish). The core argument is as follows: The information revolution is often related with the notion of “democratization”, which essentially means broader access to the information as well as co-creation of it by the users of the media themselves (that’s the core feature of web 2.0). Within the architectural realm the application of information technologies was taking place only at the most experimental educational institutions in the world. Instead of bridging the gab between the leading institutions and the other ones, information technologies where effectively making the gap larger. Now, this picture is likely to change. I think so when I look at work of professors and students of the Christian University of Chile. You can see on example of CNC milling above (it comes from Diego Pinochet blog). The point is that information technologies enables us to exchange knowledge at an unprecedented speed. At the same time Innovative design technologies become affordable. The technology used in the student project in Chile and in the works visible at the welcoming page of TU Delft or Sci Arc are quite similar, so all I’m arguing is that I can’t see a reason why other places in the world should not follow the path of original experimentation. Such path must however be precedented by the recognition of information technologies tools available for designers. I mean both design tools and 2.0 communication tools.
