"The series of essays on Architectural Education is drawing more and more interest worldwide, especially since the Pune Declaration in India, which is highly relevant to the entire world. I am therefore continuing to pursue the parallel series of articles on the topic. ArchNewsNow is continuing to publish short essays on the future of architectural education, and I am also inviting Opinion pieces that are appearing in the journal New Design Ideas. The pandemic has revealed in a dramatic manner the insufficiency of present-day architectural academia. Official architectural culture has been totally unable to provide comfortable living spaces and environments for billions of people who have had to be confined. The theoretical basis of industrial modernism is bankrupt: it was always meant to provide extractive profits for a small group, instead of living environments for all the users." — Nikos Salingaros.
