Architecture and Critical Thinking
Architecture and Critical Thinking
Architecture and Critical Thinking is a series of lectures, seminars, workshops and talks that aims to bring together scholars and researchers in architecture, urbanism, built environment and sustainability. It introduces students to critical thinking, analyzing and questioning the architectural forms, their functionality and usage
ACT aims to familiarize students with research on key issues related to the built environment and architectural typologies. Students are encouraged to participate in scholarly research and intense discussions through regular discussions with guest scholars in the Department of Architecture at BUITEMS Quetta, Pakistan.
ACT communicates through various mediums and sources to construct arguments based on our built environment's social, physical, ethical, cultural, and historical realities. We explore through ACT different ways which assist in creating new ideas for solving research problems and challenges.
