Publisher's Synopsis
Finland is the undisputed pioneer in architectural education. In 1998, it was one of the first countries in Europe to develop an official architectural policy, whose declared aim it was to more systematically integrate architecture into the educational system, teacher training programs at universities, and adult education.
In her field study, Turit Fröbe spoke with various experts to get a picture just how successful this internationally acclaimed Finnish architectural policy is being perceived. Has it succeeded in anchoring architectural education in the education system? What conditions did this require? What structures were created to do so? And is it possible to derive recommendations from Finnish experience for countries such as Germany?
