Curricular orientation is defined as the tendency of schools of architecture to emphasize certain aspects of the theory and practice of the profession and to transmit these educational biases to ...their respective graduates. The implication of this assumption for both the profession and society is the possibility that environments are shaped and configured, to a large extent, by the ways in which architects are trained, and that values assimilated in schools of architecture will affect the users of those environments. In order to better understand this concept, a model of curricular orientation in architectural education is outlined in this paper. Attitudinal data from 595 practicing architects in five Midwest AIA chapters are used to validate a number of hypotheses concerning the orientation model. The results of the research indicate that significant differences of perceptions among graduates from five schools of architecture exist; these differences may be characterized as design, technical, or practical oriented groupings within the five alumni populations. It appears that the degree to which architects attach meaning and importance in the various aspects of their professional lives is a result of their respective educational experiences.

The firms participating in the internship program have agreed to match the work schedules of the interns with specific design or research issues that they feel would benefit the educational needs of ...the students and expand the knowledge base of both the firm and the students.Because the students bring with them the latest knowledge of EBD processes and digital techniques, most of the sponsoring firms take full advantage of these skills to explore critical issues in theftcurrent health care projects.Student project informs future rural hospital design Eighteen students in the Health + Wellness master of architecture program at the University of Kansas, in collaboration with architecture firm HDR, Omaha, created a model for a critical access hospital (CAH) using a small town in the western Great Plains as a case study....to residents served by urban health care systems, the rural population is older and less likely to be insured, more prone to chronic medical conditions, more dependent on CAHs for long-term and skilled nursing services, and more reliant on primary and outpatient diagnostic and treatment services because of remote locations from teaching or tertiary care facilities.In subsequent years, the University of Kansas Health + Wellness program worked with a number of rural health care systems to produce environmental solutions to their own CAH facilities and sponsored a national symposium in 2016 that brought together designers, health care providers and policymakers to discuss and clarify the issues related to improving access to health care in rural America, ш Frank Zilm, D.Arch., FAIA, FACHA (ret.) is Chester Dean Director of the Institute for Health + Wellness Design at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, and Kent Spreckelmeyer, D.Arch., FAIA, is professor of architecture at the School of Architecture & Design at the University of Kansas, Lawrence.
Architectural programming is the analytic stage of the building design process. It is defined through a literature search and questionnaire responses from eight architects who have been active in ...pre-design services. To determine how a particular method of decision-making can facilitate the programming process, a multiobjective decision analysis technique is used to define and solve architectural problems. From a preliminary use of such a technique a refined methodology is related to the initial phases of design. A model of decision-making in programming is presented and a graphic computer program is designed to communicate that model to architects and their clients. The technique is applied in six programming problems and is evaluated as a decision tool by the case study participants. Questionnaire responses, the computer technique and the case studies are analyzed in the thesis and documented in separate appendices. The technique was successful in helping architects define building programs and served as a communication and structuring device in evaluating concept alternatives. It is suggested that the traditional separation of programming and physical design is not conducive to the use of this particular decision technique and may limit the architect's ability to introduce evaluative methodologies into environmental problems. A closer relation between the analytic and intuitive aspects of architecture is proposed.
