Theodore Spyropoulos, Director of the MArch Architecture and Urbanism (Design Research Laboratory), has been interviewed by Best Architecture Masters. The interview includes a discussion of the future of architectural education, and highlights the mix of collaboration and creativity that has defined his teaching at the AA.

When asked why architectural education is so important, Spyropoulos responded that:

‘Architecture affords us a framework to understand our world through the medium of space. If a problem could be understood spatially it is in my opinion architectural, this aspect I believe gives agency for architects to contribute to many challenges of contemporary society. Our shared and collective approach to knowledge offers a diverse and speculative model of education that is fundamental.’
