Description
Radical Pedagogies explores the experiments in architectural education that transformed architectural discourse and practice in the decades following World War II. These radical pedagogies challenged conventional assumptions about architecture, decentered building, and envisioned participatory forms of practice. The book documents these innovative approaches to learning, including the adaptation of Bauhaus pedagogy as a means of "unlearning" under decolonization conditions, design studios that prioritized inclusivity for people with disabilities, and alternative approaches to Soviet design. By examining the dissolution and afterlife of these projects, Radical Pedagogies raises provocative questions about architecture's role in the new century. Through its exploration of radical pedagogies, this book sheds light on the complex history of architectural education and its ongoing impact on the field.
