Abstract

The approach of using the oral history to share knowledge, experience, and understanding has long been understood and accepted as a valid construct in historic traditions. Introducing it into the architectural studio as a means of accessing experience, sharing insights, and transcending the drawn or build construct can be enlightening, both for the individual student and the collective. This study is built on the radical pedagogies from the sixties to the present day and as such, expands a pedagogical liniage. As we move into a more virtual world, where the image has more significance than the real, the spoken word in interviews by architects may serve to expand our approach to design and both the discipline and discourse in architectural projects.
