The Obedient Architect On the Value of Academic Education in the Architectural Discipline Jesper Baltussen (1993) and Margit van Schaik (1993) are both students of the Master’s course ‘Architecture Building and Planning’ at Eindhoven University of Technology. They have closely followed the discussion on the changes of the architectural discipline and noticed how the role of the academic is barely touched upon by the many lectures and conversations. They try to draw more attention to this topic by describing the value of critical reflection and idealism in the discipline, led by the article I will learn you architecture! in Volume.
