What is Critical Thinking in Architecture?
Critical thinking is a core skill that teaches creatives to question or reflect on their own knowledge and information presented to them. It aims at critiquing contemporary architectural discourse in light of its historical, political, aesthetic, ethical and cultural circumstances.
" Architecture must concern itself continually with the socially beneficial distortion of the environment. "
- Cedric Price

Program Overview
key highlights of the course

Learning Outcomes
Top course takebacks.
1. Methodologies for your Drawings
Using the idea of the drawing as a radical alternative and autonomous medium, learners can start developing methodologies and critical approaches to drawing that is rooted in the project.
2. Learn to approach theory
Learn to approach theory with your own projected subjectivity, required for not only understanding it but owning it.
3. Translating ideas and text
This is not about developing a “style”. Ideally, the drawing should be informed by the project. Thus, translating ideas from text (thought as text too) to drawing.
4. Developing critical thought.
Approaching drawing not merely as a form of representation but as an alternative medium. Tap into a complex network of processes linked to Architecture.
by Superstudio
Why study Critical Thinking in Architecture?
Now, more than ever a critical approach to architecture is needed, especially one during architectural education through critical thought processes. This is something that universities lack in guiding students towards. Critical thinking/approach is required for creating responsible projects, even at the level of university.
