Spiller Neil. - Educating Architects: How Tomorrows Practitioners Will Learn Today

I would like to thank Rahesh Ram for having the initial idea for this book. Nic Clear, Simon Herron and Mark Garcia for helping hone the choice of schools and the content of the book. Lucas Dietrich and Thames & Hudson for publishing such a fine and important book. Caroline Ellerby for collating, copy-editing and project managing the book I couldnt have done it without her. Gratitude is also due to the University of Greenwich for providing a new architecture school building by award-winning architects, financial support for this project, and the opportunity to create a world-class school.

I dedicate this book to my two sons Edward and Tom, and to all the people featured in this book, teacher or student. It has been your day-to-day toil and victories that have made this book possible.
