This is written as a reponse to a smouldering issue in Australia at the moment with the quality of architectural education. Davina Jackson is a foremost commentator and was the editor of architektura Australia (AusIA magazine) for about ten years. I am wondering if this issue is a concern in other countries at the moment and particularly England which Davina cites as an originator (via certain educators who have taken over architektura schools in Melbourne) of the current Australian taste for wonkytechture which tends to dismiss structural constraints as surmountable no matter what the cost and often totally ignores even more direct enviromental considerations.
It seems there is a lot of contempt for Murcuttian type design methods amongst the Internationalist wonkytechs which begs the questions, How is architektura going to respond to climate change if architektura schools dispense teaching design based on site response and materials science and construction in favour of style and fashion?
Here is a quote from Davina JacksonÂs ÂPink Fits’ (2006 p165) culled from a frothcoming essay in a forthcoming book called ‘Antipodean Spaces. Museums and cultural centres in Australia and New Zealand’,
She ranges wide on Federation Square and says in regards to it having been Âthrown onto the site
“It wasn’t rocket science to get to the point that this gesture was intended to metaphorically smash the Meisian (and perhaps also Murcuttian) glass boxes that were architecture’s greatest symbols of both industrially mechanised technologies and the transparency of modern democracies.”
We all know she is a champion of the Stylist ‘method’ of design. Elsewhere in the book she betrays her ignorance and possibly an unwillingness to understand, that the concept of architektura as a Stylist paradigm and practically nothing else is to completely dismiss the whole point of this highest form of art in the first place.
Boyd’s lamentable featurists have here a clarion caller urging everyone over a cliff. She even uses the term ‘Viral Internationalist’ to describe the seemingly endless infection of architektura schools with the new wonkytexture of the plausibly impossible mathematically digitalonical decostructavist confabulationistasisms.
All that is confection when the grand feature is so virulent that it has infected not only every stylistic affectation to be conceived of, but it has also infected the structure. It is noted by Davina that Fed Square’s budget was blown out by a fracture of not quite 300% and as such this wonderful new dawn of architectural deconstructavism (if ever there was a more succinct tag) is widely understood amongst professionals to be a design style beyond the means of even the most mildly infected client. Even if they “like it” (as much as Barry Marshall quoted at a Sydney planning approval meeting p152 Pink Fits) they can’t have it unless they’re as rich as Woolworths or Disney.
The problem is that thinking Murcuttian architektura (or even Meisian architecture) had or has anything to do with Âstyle and ’symbolism’ as conceptual originators of design, is to widely miss the orgasm of design conception. But this is what Jacksonian coterie mentors in their self congratulatory fashion are teaching impressionable young people. Let alone revealing themselves to be uninformed as to the thought processes and motivations that Meis Van der Rohe and Murcutt used and uses.
It is one thing to do away with empirical analysis and even structural considerations in reaching a design decision, as Ghery does quite well, but it is completely another to teach people by omission or otherwise, that other design philosophies have no validity anymore because “I like” the results. I actually like the style too but that doesn’t mean I can pretend that its origins are empirical or that they donÂt need empirics to construct them, and that its ’symbolism’ is relevant beyond the moment of its completion, and that it is somehow all defeating of all before and after it.
There has always been a radically respected penchant in art of cocking-a-hoop at what previously was regarded as tradition and certainly when it comes to style there is often nothing better than a refreshing new look at an old problem. But never before have architectural pretenders been so up themselves as to declare both the transcendences of style and the fundamental foundations of design philosophy to be defunct, now that they have thrown down a digitalized glass gauntlet.
So much do the wonkytechs deign to forget the fundamentals of design, that when Fractual Stylism finally disintegrates under the weight of dust collecting behind all those inaccessible maintenance hatches, and the world has run out of oil to fuel their greedy insularities, there will be no drawing boards to go back to. There will no longer be an academic source book because the deconstructavist Featurists and Stylists will have burned all the books in an attempt to keep warm inside their unsustainable architecture.
No actually, they will have abandoned them enmasse and will be pushing their way through North Australian fly screens in an attempt to make friends again with ‘Murcuttian’ architecture, only by then they wonÂt be able to recognise it and instead will find themselves checking into Bates Motel from Psycho because it has a strangely familiar sounding name.
To declare the death of Murcuttian architektura is like saying one need not eat from dinner plates anymore because I have just invented this bucket of broken glass you can eat from instead. Well I am sorry but there is actually no such thing as a “Murcuttian architecture” that can be declared dead. It is not a style. It is a process and a method of design founded on a solid understanding of the environment in which it must exist and the materials of which it must be made.
It is no more a matter of ’style’ than that having to breathe is a matter of choice or that leopards have spots because they like them. And ‘Meisian’ architektura isn’t a style either unless you donÂt know why you are copying it. ThatÂs whatÂs called Nihilist Regurgitation and it is being taught without teaching even how it might be constructed. To teach design and not teach construction??? Well that’s like teaching someone how to cook and not teaching them how to turn the oven on.
They are NOT teaching design. They (surely not all architektura schools, I hope) are not teaching design and that’s the problem. They are teaching STYLE. They are teaching egotistical scatology. They are teaching the fine art of stylistic forgery. They are teaching the featurist application of empty, colourful and meaningless ‘filled regions’ where once it was called a concrete urn on a post. They are falling into an abysmal canyon of mediocrity while they busily unstitch the parachute. They’re declaring the morning of their own ascendancy when they don’t even know the date.

Hi I’m Adrian!
I’m new here. Im 17 yrs old Senior in High School from California.
I joined this forum seeking for answers to my questions about Architecture.
Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but ill fire away with my questions and hopefully i get answers.
First of all. Im a Senior in high school and taking geometry (no, im not dumb or stupid its just I was badly influenced by peers to cutting school so I sabotaged my junior year but now I am making up credits/classes and hopefully graduating June 2009) Becoming an Architect is been my dream career since I was very young. Now here comes the questions. I live in California so maybe people from CA know that upon entering college you got to take GED (General Education) which are basic classes like Math and English im not sure what else is included. I am planning to go to a Community College for GED then transfer to a respected accredited UC or State University. I am near San Francisco so there’s University of California, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and San Jose State University as one of the top schools in my list. I dont kow how well respected they are but I know UCB is higly respected. After GED in Community College (Ohlone) I am going to transfer to one of those Univ. My first question is when I get in a Architectural Program in a Univ. its usually 4-5 years right? so in 4-5 years does that include GED? if not what kind of programs are available out there? what classes should I take in college? after getting my Bachelors out of the Architectural program I am planning to work for experience then take Masters and maybe Phd if I am still up for it. On my junior year in the program for B.A. im going to apply for internship. Where should I apply at? Correct me if i am wrong. Thanks
