A climate literacy academic programme and skills mapping survey has been released to architecture schools across the UK, to help identify gaps in education and encourage critical thinking.
With the wider coalition of SCOSA (The Standing Conference of Heads of Schools of Architecture), the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) and ACAN (Architects Climate Action Network), Climate Framework created a climate literacy mapping survey to understand the current academic programme and skills’ gaps in architecture schools, against the RIBA’s Climate Literacy Mandatory Competence Knowledge Schedule.
The findings of this survey will help inform the second phase of this collaborative effort: identification of skills’ gaps and ways to enable skills sharing. ‘The working group will encourage schools to plug gaps identified, with resources from other departments and/or schools through skills swapping exercises. This will require schools to be willing to de-anonymise their results at a school level (not individual staff level), and to build a level of trust between departments and/or schools’.
