Introduction

A “school” is not a skyscraper or an ivory tower of a building, but a starting point for experimentation and creation, pursuing design methods and graphic reproduction, strategic thinking and action, gathering thought and criticism, and promoting publishing and education. In an era of architectural “college education” ebbs and connections to society, London's AA School of Architecture and the Cooper Union in New York have formed an epochal example. The Taiwan School of Architecture also opened a new page in architectural design education under this influence.

The lecture was specially invited by Professor Zeng Shedd and Professor Nicholas Boyarsky—who is also the son of former AA Dean Alvin Boyarsjy, who was presented at this exhibition, Housing the Friendship Architecture and the Friendship of Books, to review the creative story and discuss Be it from today's feedback.
