The EPN Advisory Committee is dedicated to facilitating
partnerships between educators and practitioners for the
professional preparation of architects.
The EPN Advisory Committee
- Oversees a series of ongoing programs, including the AIA Education Honor Awards, the AIA Case Studies Initiative, and the AIA
Component Matching Grant Program, providing matching
scholarship funds for students to attend NAAB-accredited
architecture programs
- provides opportunities for dialogue through programs such as
the Walter Wagner Forum at the AIA national
convention
- serves in an advisory capacity to the AIA and as a liaison to
the collateral organizations (The Association of Collegiate Schools
of Architecture, American Institute of Architecture Students,
National Architectural Accrediting Board, National Council of
Architectural Registration Boards) on questions of relevance to
both practice and education.
The AIA White Paper for the NAAB 2008 Accreditation
Review Conference
Once every five years, the National Architectural
Accrediting Board (NAAB) reviews requirements for the accreditation
of architecture programs. As part of a collaborative review
process, the AIA Board of Directors approved the AIA White Paper in December 2007
addressing priorities of the Institute and their implications for
architecture education.
The AIA White Paper is part of a broader review process. Read more.
The Cranbrook 07 conference on Integrated Practice and the
Twenty-first Century Curriculum was one of the many conferences and
forums that informed the AIA White Paper.
Cranbrook 07 Integrated Practice and the Twenty-first
Century Curriculum
Cranbrook 07, a special joint session of the ACSA Teachers
Seminar and the AIA Educator/Practitioner Network Summer Practice
Institute, June 28-July 1, 2007, explored the impact of emerging
project delivery methods and the imperative of sustainability on
the professional curriculum. The conference included a series of
panel presentations on themes related to the central challenge of
what changes are needed in architecture education to prepare for
changes occurring in practice and in the construction industry.
Summaries of presentations on ethics and responsibility, practice
and criticism, research and design are included in the proceedings
as well as a comparative summary of team presentations and closing
responses by Edward Allen, FAIA.
This
conference built on previous conferences organized by the AIA --
the Oak Park conference on integratedpractice and the Pomona
conference on sustainability. Text and drawings depicting concepts
for architecture education are included in the proceedings with an
introduction by Norman Strong, FAIA.
These conferences addressed key issues that will be considered by
the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and others
involved in the accreditation review process underway this year.
Printed proceedings were distributed to educators in all ACSA
member schools and to committee leaders of the AIA. For the
