Critical Reasoning for an Enlightened Architectural Practice
The capitalist political economy plays a crucial role in shaping the built environment and how architects practice. Capitalist aims are often antagonistic to principles of good architectural practice and, as a result, the desires of practitioners to provide good architecture are colonized and politically debilitated. Architects who use social processes embedded with critical reasoning are more able to empower themselves politically. They are in a better position to design buildings that respond to human needs rather than being antagonistic to such needs. To prepare architects for such practice, more attention is needed in preparing students to think critically during their architectural education.
