Tredje Natur sends architects back to school!
Architecture schools and organizations have begun to meet the rising demands for continuing education that can improve knowledge and practical understanding for young architects. Tredje Natur welcomes this and will contribute to the program.
Tredje Natur’s CEO, Malene Kruger will contribute with lectures on our firm’s philosophy and and the challenges facing the newest generation of architects, include the increasing number of complexities and unknown circumstances in the future. Malene will include her extensive background in architecture and business, as a former partner in her own firm and work on the board of the Danish Association of Architectural Firms.
“Besides hand drawing, you must think with your brain, feel with your heart and live with academic excitement. You have to take in everything the world has to offer like a cheeky little chimp would, and this is possible if you understand the professional world you are a part of.”
– Malene Krüger, CEO at TREDJE NATUR.
On an international path
+2 provides new architects more professional skills, by expanding their knowledge base and tools to operate as a practitioner, while gaining practical experience the participant would gain at a firm. This is a shortcut to a theoretical understanding of architecture’s conditions, collaborators, business aspects, and project management- the same knowledge one would normally gain from years of experience and would be an expensive process. +2 has the same structure as part 3 of RIBA, that is obligatory for architects in England. It is not the plan to make this obligatory for architects in Denmark, but the process is similar.
Facts about +2
The first year of +2 is a pilot project, and the participants will therefore provide feedback and improve the course for the following years, and will therefore can participate at a reduced price. The first year is expected to start in February 2016.
The continuing education course is designed for Master’s in Architecture, from the architecture schools in Copenhagen and Aarhus, that have graduated within the past 1-5 years and work in an architecture firm. Read more at the Association of Architects. (in Danish)
