20.500.12556/RUL-167027 Teaching wholeness in architecture education advancing Christopher Alexander’s teaching legacy through the Building Beauty program Architect, builder, and professor Christopher Alexander focused his life’s work on trying to understand what makes the physical environment beautiful, and how beautiful environments can be created today. Through careful research, innovative teaching, and unorthodox professional practice, Alexander formulated a unified vision of the physical environment based on a theory of “wholeness.” He observed that achieving beauty and wholeness in the built environment – as well as teaching it – requires the integration of processes and considerations that are usually kept separate: integrating form and function, integrating teaching and practice, integrating design and construction, integrating projects of various scales, and integrating all of these within the ongoing search for how beauty and wholeness might be reached, taught, and proliferated. Alexander explored and developed ways of implementing these observations throughout his decades of teaching at the University of California at Berkeley, culminating in the Building Process Area of Emphasis, which he founded with his colleagues in 1990. His former students from this period, together with new partners, established “Building Beauty” in 2017, a post-graduate program in architecture that continues to teach and expand upon Alexander’s theories and methods of generating beauty and wholeness in the physical environment. architecture school architecture education wholeness beauty true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2025-02-04 12:42:43 2025-02-04 12:42:48 2025-02-12 13:35:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 125-134 iss. 2 Vol. 47 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 72.01:37 2029-7947 10.3846/jau.2023.18358 176448771 RAZ_Ingham_Susan_2023.pdf RAZ_Ingham_Susan_2023.pdf 1 8F53BAC6DE679D8BC1733169AB8C3E6B 7438e1a863bfe577f99e92fe3715c25c08e651a6b4673234b98856881e0c7a91 2a46dd70-e2ee-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=199133 https://journals.vilniustech.lt/index.php/JAU/article/view/18358 0 5225d993-e2ec-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=199132 Fakulteta za arhitekturo 0 0 0
