beautifully, as responsible global village, and local neighbourhood citizens, by building according to principles enhancing and supporting life, in harmony with the local and the universal,  and

education has not only lost its influence in  practice, and in the crafting of an inhabitable and sustainable world, but it has also lost its capacity and desire to cultivate, to inspire and to teach.. --And very sadly it has just given up on the very principles of education and training,  lost  its efficiency to educate, traded its credibility in its rapports with  professionals and  laymen, and lost interest in  the relevance of architecture and urbanism as essential manifestations of human cultures!</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Times New Roman" >T</FONT>he context of<I> Globalization</I> suggests a destructive, monolithical banalization of the whole world, with a singularly impoverished cultural pattern of Western ascendance,-- ignoring the

Roman" >T</FONT>he geo-political and economic phenomena of <I>Globalization </I>is paralelled by an impressive propaganda machinery, discussing and promoting the international deconstruction of a colorful and diverse  building culture into a large, stereotyped, global "junk space".. Academy has found much excitement in participating to this  cultural and educational deconstruction: --rather than teaching efficient strategies to operate locally and regionally in sustainable practices, Academy subscribed eagerly to futile paradigms of gobalizing aesthetics, arbitrary doctrines and  pseudo-scientific ideologies and stereotypes.. Academy lends its historical prestige to perverting infinite amounts of creative intelligence..  Whole generations of students are consumed in meaningless creativity statistics. Abundant and redundant imagery of a global  consumerist suburbia appear as symptoms of helplessness regarding the challenges of architecture and urbanism in the contemporary world. </div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Times New Roman" >H</FONT>owever <I> Globalization</I> offers other potentials of civilized action, of rapid communication and of positive interaction at a planetary level, without necessary compromising of the integrity of local cultures and environments... The possibility of  collaborations and synergies in complex global scenarios,  and the instrumental complexity of -- globalized new technologies, and, -- globalized softwares, should be considered very seriously.  They can paradoxically be antidotes to the disruptive consequences of <I>Globalization</I>, and offer to play a major role in new educational strategies based on: international exchange, virtual teaching and  distant learning, interdisciplinary tactics,  continuous education, popular universities, interactive charrettes and community workshops, self-teaching and tactical learning, etc.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="08e5ef80.jpg" border=0 width="350" height="248" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I> Urban Typologies, Model by First Year Students (2003)</I></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="index_m.htm" TITLE="Education Conference"><U>Back to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <div>       <I>   </I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
