Engendering responsibility in architecture students through real planning for a tram depot in Gdańsk
Abstract
Apart from technical competencies, the profession of architect requires specific social competencies: understanding the user’s needs, ability to diagnose social problems, negotiating and understanding the impact of construction investments on society and the environment. The architect plays a significant role in the collective effort to create spatial order. This is why it is important to include these social competencies in the curricula of architectural studies. It should be required that students of architecture actively engage in real design processes to develop competencies underpinning professional responsibility and cooperation. Presented in this article is an experimental course. Enrolled in the course were students engaged in preparatory work on planning documents prepared for the city of Gdańsk. Participation in real activities, with real partners and problems, engenders the students’ sense of responsibility. Attaining that is crucial in the future work of an architect.
