Uncube Magazine 1 – online magazine for architecture and beyond

In the wake of the Bologna Process, most European architecture schools are struggling to conform with the standardised educational models now required – not to mention rising costs, outdated bureaucracies and a rapidly changing profession. Today, most architecture graduates won't even become architects. Can architecture education catch up with reality?

This issue of uncube tackles the complicated status quo, with a focus on the European continent but an eye on the rest of the world. After talking to experts and experimenters across the board, there is only one thing everyone can agree: The system needs a serious overhaul.
