Robert Campbell, architectural critic for the Globe, writes about how a recent exhibition at Harvard University’s Gund Hall manages to address everything about design, except its users. The critique extends beyond Massachussetts and onto the international stage, which Campbell cites as a growing source for new architecture students that are looking to do more with architecture than just create an inward looking, pseudo-intellectual veil behind which design can hide - calling for the architecture schools of today to look to addressing the goals of the emerging cohorts.

This leads us to question the needs and wants of today’s emerging students from this part of the world, and to ask if architecture schools here are addressing specific student needs.
