The Place of Science in Architectural Education
Discussion of the part that building science should play in the education of architects, and of the way in which it should be taught, is too often bedeviled by the prejudices described in the diagnosis of the ills of architectural education (whose author still remains anonymous at the time of going to press) that appeared in the March issue of this journal. Professor Cowan writes from the vantage-ground of a university which actually has a Department of Architectural Science, of which he is Head. Since this article was written, in 1961, the University of Sydney has taken a step further in introducing the degree of Master of Building Science, with a curriculum designed for the common post-professional training of architects, physicists and civil, mechanical and electrical engineers, in the scientific aspects of the design of buildings.
