Listen "MTalks—The Good and the Bad Architect"
Episode Synopsis
What makes good architecture or a good architect? Tune in as we dove behind the scenes of the architectural profession and examined the roles and responsibilities of those who work in the field.
Architecture is often judged by aesthetics, but this does not always distinguish one architect from another, nor a good one from a bad one.
What does the licensure, the regulations and contractual systems that surround architecture actually cause? How do these legal mechanisms allow architects to be accountable, to have a duty to the public, and a decision-making process regardless of whether they are good or bad?
Based on discussions from the RMIT Architecture ‘Professional Practice’ area of research and teaching, this discussion looked at the ethics and standards of the architecture industry and to find the ‘good’ of architecture.
