数年前チリカトリカ大で1週間のワークショップした時、優秀なTAが2人いて2週間前からイントロ課題を出してレビューすると言う分厚い教育体制に驚いた。今回座学とスタジオを担当するが、座学は二コマ連続で、やはりTAが既にあてがわれており準備の注文をして良いと言われている。しかも学生数は10人以下が保証されている。それはスタジオも同じで、建築家が2人つき学生は8人と言うスタジオが７-８こ準備される。 建築学科が組織上学部として独立しているところは日本でもちらほら見かける。加えて建物が独立しているところも稀にある。しかしキャンパスが独立しているところは滅多にない。チリカトリカは数世紀前の建築のリノベにアラベナなどが増築して今に至る独立キャンパスだ。世界的にみてソフトもハードもかなり良くできた建築スクールである。A few years ago, when we had a one-week workshop at Chile Catholic University, I was surprised by the thick educational system where two excellent TAs were able to present intro assignments and review them for two weeks. This time I will be in charge of the lecture and studio, but the lecture is two consecutive classed and as expected, TA has already been assigned to me, it is said that I can place an order for preparation. Moreover, the number of students is guaranteed to be less than 10. The same goes for studios, with about eight students per studio for two architects as tutor. You can see a few in Japan that the Department of Architecture is independent as an organizational superior department. In addition, there are rarely places where the buildings are independent, but there are rarely places where the campuses are independent. The Main Building of architecture school of Chile Católica is renovation of the building of a few centuries ago and later added Arabena design building and so on. Looking at the world, iChile Catolica architecture school is an architecture school with very well-made software and hardware.
