Transformative Pedagogy in Architecture and Urbanism is a new, updated, re-written edition of "New Trends in Architectural Education: Designing the Design Studio". As a new round of pedagogical dialogue on architecture and urbanism it resets the stage for debating future visions of transformative pedagogy and its impact on design education. This is a forward looking effort that comes to amalgamate concerns, concepts, and practices that Ashraf M. Salama has explored and introduced over a period of two decades. It is about balancing the creative act required for creating responsive environments and the social and environmental responsibilities that should be embedded in this act. It is also about understanding how knowledge is produced, what the components of such knowledge are, and what are the learning processes and social practices that can be used to transmit it. Structured in five chapters the book presents a wide range of innovative and practical methodologies for teaching architectural and urban design. It tracs the roots of architectural education and offers several contrasting ideas and strategies of design teaching practices.A New Theory for Transformative Pedagogy in Architecture and UrbanismThe Architect, the Profession, and SocietyThe Conventional Approach to Studio Teaching PracticeAgainst the Conventional Studio PedagogyEmpowering Transformative Pedagogy: A Knowledge-Based Architectural and Urban Design Studio
