NO FIT STATE

摘要

I was surprised to read in Kieran Long's leader, and in his interview with Robert Mull (AJ 29.05.08), that both seem to hav< decided that a developing altruism among architectural students somehow constitutes readiness for practice. As somebody who has pretty much always had a concern for the architect's duty to society throughout my training (John Ruskin and Ted Cullinan have always been important role models for me, for example, and I specialised in sustainable design for my Part 2) I, at least, am quite clear that concerns about 'duty of care', as manifested in the studio, have very little to do with readiness for practice in the office.
