Being an architect today means taking responsibility for a fundamental change in planning and construction. The construction and operation of buildings is now responsible for 40 per cent of CO2 emissions on our planet, and climatic changes have long been noticeable. Global supply chains and economic interdependencies are proving to be far less resilient than was assumed ten years ago. A rethink must therefore begin during training if architects not only want to contribute to sustainable action on the construction site in the long term, but also - in the best case scenario - realise regenerative construction projects. This publication offers a comprehensive insight into today's architectural education. Former university professor Natascha Meuser addresses young students who want to learn the basics of building culture and planning, as well as teachers who are looking for new pedagogical approaches. Pupils who are thinking about studying architecture will also find valuable information here. The didactically structured compendium covers essential aspects of architectural teaching, from the history and development of interior design to the importance of creative responsibility and attention to architectural detail.
