Almost everyone has an opinion on education; many of us think we know what it should not be, even if we do not know exactly what it should be. There is no denying that there are multiple issues that affect education in our country in general, and design and LA education, in particular. The need for constant evaluation, growth and evolution in our educational systems/ programs is a facet that has been discussed often; what we plan to actually do about it is really the point. Discussions have been held about inculcating the best of the West with the wisdom of our cultural systems, as well as the lack of conversation on the ethics of our interventions in the environment, in both our education and practice. Climate change and related extreme weather events often dominate the headlines today, clearly showing us the consequences of decades of heedless development. The lack of theoretical connections on design and environmental psychology also affect both our education systems and our practices, as do the weaknesses in the connections between research, teaching and practice.
LA education has an importance in our lives. We cannot afford to leave it ‘out there’, as one of our contributors has written, only affecting us indirectly. It needs to be ‘right here’, front-and-centre in our awareness. LA education affects many of us, directly and indirectly. It directly affects the many types of LAs who run practices, who may seek industry-ready employees for efficient production of working drawings, or creative designers, with flair and imagination. A research-oriented practice may look for qualities of scholarship and skills in writing; a practice with an ecological approach may look for like-minded graduates.
