Executive Summary INTRODUCTION

The following comprises an update on the development of a directory of architecture faculties in the Commonwealth, together with a summary of the responses received to a pilot consultation that was recently undertaken with a number of schools to test their appetite for collaboration and engagement.

Directory of Architectural Faculties in the Commonwealth

The directory currently includes 737 Schools of Architecture, 674 of which have been verified and 622 of which are accredited by the national regulator, as summarised in Appendix I and detailed in Appendix II. 405 (65%) of the accredited schools are situated in India. According to the information published by the Indian Council of Architecture, 187 (46%) of the faculties in India have been established for less than 10 years. 23 Commonwealth countries (mostly in the Caribbean and the Pacific) have no architecture school.

Heads Of Department

Contacts have been found in all but a handful of schools (notably Nigeria). Contact details for Heads of Department have been found in the majority of schools.

Population Ratio per School of Architecture

The ratio (in million) of population per school in OECD countries is 1.2m in Australia, 3.2m in Canada, 1.3m in New Zealand and 1.1 in the United Kingdom. The countries with the highest population per school include Zambia (19.5m), Ghana (16.4m), Rwanda (13.5m), Uganda (11.5m), Mozambique (10.7m), Kenya (10.6m), Pakistan (10.5m), Malawi (9.9m) and Papua New Guinea (9.9m), highlighting the critical lack of capacity in many of the Commonwealth countries which are urbanising most rapidly.

Responses to the Consultation

On 13 April 2023, a personalised mailing was sent to 272 contacts in all of the 137 verified schools in CAA member countries. 94 responses to the questionnaire accompanying the mailing have been received, details of which are contained in this report. Key findings from the questionnaire appear to evidence the fact that:

1. 85% of respondents are interested in helping to build a mutually supportive online community among teaching faculty.

2. 93% of respondents are interested in collaborating with another Commonwealth School of Architecture

3. 65% of respondents are interested in learning more about validation.

4. 78% of respondents are interested in promoting engagement with the Commonweath Youth Network.

5. 87% of respondents (82 no) identified other aspects of their school/faculty that would benefit from some form of capacity development, knowledge sharing The principal areas of interest among the 82 responses to this question included:

 Faculty development, including faculty exchange and mentoring.

 Collaborative design studios and design crits

 Joint research programmes

 Student exchange and scholarships

 Knowledge sharing associated with climate change and sustainable development.

 Urban design, urban development and housing the urban poor

 New pedagogies and methodologies

A copy of the individual responses to this question is contained in Appendix III.

6. 72% of respondents undertook a curriculum review 1-3 years, ago, 21% 4-7 years ago and 6% over 8 years ago.

7. 65% of respondents consider their curriculum ‘somewhat’ prepares their students to engage with the needs of their local market and with international policy objectives such as the SDGs. 27% stated ‘very much’ while 9% (8 no) stated not at all.

8. 91% of respondents are interested in engaging in a discussion around the development of core competencies

9. Most of the respondents consider that the 6 elements contained within the Climate Framework form part of their curriculum to a greater or less extent, the weakest element being ‘circular’ economy’.

10. A substantial number of respondents believe their faculty would benefit from training in all of the six elements of the Climate Framework, notably ‘Energy & Carbon’.

11.89% of respondents stated that their school/faculty undertakes research.

12. Respondents appear to be undertaking research across a broad range of topics with ‘Environment scoring most responses and ‘Building Technology’ scoring least.

13. The following are among the most popular new areas of research in which respondents were interested:

 Green Buildings & Sustainable Development

 Climate Change

 Heritage Conservation

 Harnessing indigenous knowledge

 Resilience & adaptation

 Design thinking and pedagogy

A copy of the individual responses to this question is contained in Appendix IV.

14. A significant number of respondents expressed an interest in supporting the CAA in its research/policy activities, especially, ‘Capacity building & CPD’ (75 no), ‘Evidence based design & policy making’ (70 no) and ‘Energy, Carbon & Building Performance’ (68 no).

15. Forty-five respondents also raised a number of ‘other’ issues including:

 Promoting architecture for social purpose and building on indigenous knowledge

 Facilitating collaborations including join design studios

 Reflecting on the future of the profession, including the impact of artificial intelligence

 Facilitating knowledge exchange

 Helping to better connect academia with policymakers.

A copy of the individual responses to this question is contained in Appendix V.

16. Respondents identified a total of 70 individuals from 56 institutions from 15 countries among the 5 regions of the Commonwealth who wished to be followed up.

17. Respondents identified a further 46 individuals from 31 institutions from 11 countries among the 5 regions of the Commonwealth who were suggested for inclusion in this initiative.

Next Steps

The CAA will publish a copy of the findings before considering next steps. In the interim, for further information, contact: info@commonwealtharchitects.org

1Thanks a lot for this initiative.

2Very simple, ready to work and looking forward to hearing from you

3Yes, physical application of sustainable development & goals in Architecture design discipline

4We conduct a lot of research regarding coastal challenges. This could be one of the critical areas where the Commonwealth can support and we can work closely.

5We take the view that faculty and student mobility and exchange is beneficial, and would like to support efforts to build frameworks that facilitate this. Thanks for this initiative!

6CAA could support a mapping and eventual harmonization of curricula in Architecture schools across the commonwealth, or at least in the region.

CAA could incentivize schools engaging in community based processes

CAA could initiate the idea of a global studio - where by each student has an opportunity to participate for some amount of credits points.

CAA could consider mapping special postgraduate programs in Architecture schools and placing them intentionally to build capacities of schools, e.g. in EAC, each architecture school could identify one unique MSc programme that attracts students from across the region.

7Financial constraints in architectural schools especially in public sector universities are a huge hurdle at several ends. Limited resources restrict the stakeholders to function in an appropriate manner which is the need of the hour. This equally applies to the training opportunities, holding workshops, conferences, seminars, research works, and any kind of collaborations that are intended.

8Developing systems that connects policy and its implementation with academic research and its outcomes

9Strong areas of all the member schools may be identified and worked upon. the sharing of knowledge multiplies the benefits for the community and institutional development.

Working with the indigenous communities, which have been disconnected to some extent from rest of the developed areas, due to factors like economy or access can be good case studies of the architectural changes associated with climate change and the models can then be applied to the larger world.

10We are seeking international partners for exchange programs for students and faculty. We have a few people who are interested in doing PhD abroad so they want to connect with potential supervisors. We also want our faculty to engage in collaborative research projects.

11Environment, lot off fruit tree cutting to make new housing.

12Need Faculty and student exchange programs

13Governance of built environment.

14we are residing in third world country, lacking advance pedagogical techniques in architectural curriculum. So, faculty development program needed.

15The rural settlements in Pakistan are comprehensively deprived of physical planning , zoning , disaster risk reduction , infrastructural standardization , provision of services , technical and higher education and many other liabilities. As foremost recommendation , a four years Bachelors Program must be initiated on Rural Architecture & Planning under Higher Education Commission of Pakistan at varsities. This will also project direct employment of qualified architects in the relevant slots and positions.

16Faculty and student interaction among international architectural schools.

17Trade facilitation among member states

18Well, as the program set in the coldest city of all the CAA programs, we may be an outlier but study here is a fast lesson in energy and thermal comfort.

It seems like the role of architects in many CAA cultures is continuing to diminish so empowering architects to speak truth to power in practice and urban development is a critical issue.

19This initiative "Building a coalition of architectural faculties across the Commonwealth" is very well defined nothing I can add but I can suggest that we can also start "joint design studios" across different common interest architecture schools. The joint design studios across different common interest architectural schools can provide an excellent opportunity for students to work together and gain a deeper understanding of different cultural perspectives on architecture. Collaborative design studios can also help students to develop important skills such as teamwork, communication, and cross-cultural understanding, which are increasingly important in today's globalized world.

Furthermore, joint design studios can provide opportunities for students to explore complex design challenges that require multidisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives. By bringing together students from different backgrounds and disciplines, joint design studios can foster innovative and creative approaches to design that are informed by diverse perspectives.

In addition, joint design studios can also provide opportunities for faculty members to collaborate on research projects and develop new approaches to architectural education and practice. By working together on joint design studios, faculty members can learn from one another and gain new insights into different pedagogical approaches and design methodologies.

Overall, joint design studios across different common interest architectural schools can provide a powerful platform for collaboration and learning, and can help to prepare students for the complex and dynamic

is a definite need to interrogate what architectural education means in the 21st century (beyond core competencies), with a revisit of the role of the architect, preparing students for a broader range of career paths, as well as pedagogical practices and the role of the profession in the training of future architects in candidacy and internship years.

21Recognition of Graduate Architect/ Professional Architects amongst the Countries that are members of the CAA.

22Can the Commonwealth enable performance via an Open Source digital portal of Climate literacy tools e.g. climatic modeling and analysis software, and the implementation of mechanisms for Staff and Student exchanges across architectural faculties of the Commonwealth ?

23It would be great to create equitable mechanisms for knowledge exchange (regenerative, not extractive or colonial)

24Preservation

25A focus on user issues to create appropriate people places

26Accreditation requirements and shifts in political and social agendas are focusing on inclusive design approaches and outcomes with emphasis on Indigenous cultures and knowledges.

27We are constantly updating our curriculum, and also responding to changing requirements of the ARB and RIBA. Adding additional criteria is not helpful given the overloaded curriculum, so I would advise the Commonwealth architectural facilities to start with the recently published competences and learnign criteria and look to see if there are any obvious gaps, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.

28Financial constraints and changing validation process reduce our outputs, outreach and access to resources.

Present valuation system prepare the students to become part of the global market, leaving very few to

29Can we have a compendium of Schools in the CAA and areas they are willing to collaborate in? Can we also have a concise programme for CAA accreditation? Can CAA organise and sponsor rotational joint conferences for schools?

30Artificial intelligence and its usage in architecture

31Social and humanistic aspects of architectural education

32Continuous development of curriculum, student participation in live projects, research, work with profession, student participation in international programs, training.

33Being a federal institution our school has been under severe financial difficulties. Unavailability of resources has effected the growth and training of faculty and students. Facilitation in 6-12 months of trainings/research activities abroad would be of great help

34Environmental and Behavioral architecture

35Support in Validation, access to funds and grants to support Global South Architectural Departments, more collaboration and exchanges among Commonwealth schools of Architecture

36The Department of Architecture in Sierra Leone came into existence on 19 September 2019. We have 150 students and 9 students in the final year of the 4 Year B.Sc Architecture. The training will continue up to 2 Year M. Sc Architecture. Our objective is to start the Accreditation with CAA as soon as possible. Any help in this process of Accreditation will helpful and appreciated.

37Design is a painful process how to inspire students to do the hard work

38Children and senior citizen friendly building and urban design

39There needs to be work across the the commonwealth on issues regarding culture and architecture, from decolonising the curriculum, through the questioning of current methodologies, to issues of local traditions and the march of modernity, as well as the culture of heritage and the need to develop existing fabric rather than engage automatically in wholesale demolition.

40Visualising the role of Architects in reformulation of contemporary urban environments

41There should be some online course facilities for teachers like access to COURSERA and EDX and LinkedIn Learning

42We should develop collaborative research activities (including funded PhD opportunities for Architects from Commonwealth) between UK and commonwealth countries to develop more applied knowledge across the Commonwealth.

43More engagements, follow ups and visitation to schools of Architecture other than for validation purposes. This can help promote continuity and sensitization on importance and benefits of accreditation by CAA

44Research on broadening architecture as a practice.
