Teaching award of Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University / Most Innovative Teaching Practice, 1st Place
Winner of the 2014 university award for excellence in teaching in the category "Innovative Teaching Practice". Nominated by year 4 (level 3) Architecture students in both categories available to academics: Best Teacher, and Most Innovative Teaching Practice.
The award was given for the design and teaching of the ARC308 Philosophy of Art and Aesthetics module - a new module in the curriculum of the Architecture Bachelor. Taking advantage of the multi-cultural context of the Department of Architecture at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, the Philosophy of Art module fosters critical awareness and engages students in enquiries of their position in architecture and its philosophical basis in China and beyond. The module is based on an understanding of Architecture as a practice that is essentially engaged with the creation of world views, whose modi operandi may be better understood if discussed in relation to other – possibly more radical – practices of enquiry and world view creation, such as Art and Philosophy.
