This message has been cross posted to the following Discussion Forums: Committee on the Environment and Regional and Urban Design Committee .
-------------------------------------------
I would like to invite all members of these committees to join in a petition to urge the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) to inspire all schools of architecture. NAAB can influence how future professionals are trained and educated, and in large part this involves whether the studio culture of a school focuses on integral design/interdisciplinary collaboration, or on the more traditional concept of master architect who designs in isolation and later hands over to engineers or contractors to execute her/his designs.
If you agree, please sign the following petition, and pass on this message to like-minded and concerned colleagues.
