QUESTIONS11

Since 2012, Questions has created a space for reflection and dialogue on architectural and its evolving role in society. This year, the conference returns to this foundational theme, proposing a timely and necessary update. 

Architectural education is currently facing a moment of transformation. Rapid technological change, climate challenges, and shifting socio-economic realities are redefining both the profession and the way it is taught. These conditions raise essential questions: how do we train architects for an unpredictable future, and what forms of knowledge and pedagogy remain relevant today? 

In response, this edition of Questions – Architectures of Learning invites participants to reconsider the foundations of architectural education. Drawing from the legacy of experimental and critical pedagogies, the conference encourages approaches that go beyond established models and engage with broader issues such as social responsibility, environmental awareness, and the evolving role of the architect. 

The conference is structured around four thematic directions—Experimentation, Integration, Augmentation, and Intersection. These themes open discussions on innovative teaching methods, the relationship between theory and practice, the impact of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, and the potential of interdisciplinary collaboration in shaping new forms of learning. 

Questions – Architectures of Learning aims to provide a platform for educators, researchers, and students to exchange ideas, share experiences, and reflect on the future of architectural education. By bringing together diverse perspectives, the conference seeks to contribute to ongoing discussions on pedagogical innovation and the role of architecture schools in addressing contemporary challenges.
