Many questions about architecture and how it was taught shook the discipline during the 1960s and 1970s. From Japan to the United States, via countries in Europe, South America, and the Middle East, the protests of architecture students were expressed almost simultaneously on several continents, testifying to the fact that beyond the breaking point of May 1968 in Paris, an entire generation aspired to approach and practice architecture differently. This collective work, which brings together the contributions of twenty-three authors among the most eminent specialists in the subject, offers for the first time an international panorama of the history of architectural teaching during the decades 1960-1970, a period of tremendous inventiveness that would bring lasting changes to the discipline and its pedagogies. As architecture opens up to the human sciences as well as to mathematical and computer experiments, constructive alternatives are emerging around ecology, the environment or the place of the user, all of which are at the heart of current events. With contributions from Abe-Kudo Junko, Oscar Andrade Castro, Julie André-Garguilo, Pedro Bandeira, Jana Berankova, Nick Bullock, Luca Cardani, Elisa Dainese, Anne Debarre, Débora Domingo-Calabuig, Jasna Galjer, Luca Guido, Emilia Kiecko, Judith le Maire de Romsée, Caroline Maniaque, Éléonore Marantz, Stanislaus von Moos, Nicolas Moucheront, Aino Niskanen, Yahya Sepehri, Corinne Tiry-Ono, Panayotis Tournikiotis and Jean-Louis Violeau.
