Changes in French Architectural Education
“Beaux-Arts” has long been a pejorative in modernist circles, architectural and educational, but the actual workings of the school from which the term is borrowed are not as well understood as they were in the days when so many American architects attended it. Here they are described as the starting point of a discussion of the changes that architectural education in France is now—so laboriously and painfully, by all accounts—at last undergoing. The article may be read as a sequel to “Architectural Education and French Traditions” by Peter Collins (Aug. ‘66). Its author is a graduate of Illinois Institute of Technology who has spent most of the past three years working in various French architectural offices.
