Architecture, ideology and pedagogy

Abstract

The objective of this report is to explore the relationship between ideology, architecture, and architectural pedagogy. Several key elements were identified by employing a theoretical model developed by Diana Agrest. The elements included political and cultural regimes, discourse and interpretation, and consumption. In order to understand the varying influences of these elements on architectural education, three case studies were employed. From these studies I was able to ascertain both the positive and negative aspects of these elements.
