Pedagogical nurture through other means: A style of educating for architects by Gilles Deleuze

Drozynski, Charles

Abstract

The current landscape of architectural pedagogy is exposed to issues of standardisation that echo the ones that higher education faced in the second half of the twentieth century. The systems of pedagogic nurture in academia that were proposed during Modernism and rejected by some, including Giles Deleuze, who proposed a new, less structured way of teaching. Untethered by overly rigid definitions and expectations of good or bad scholarship, Deleuze encouraged his students to pursue their own path of reasoning. This paper explores how this approach was convened, looking in particular at Deleuze's relationship with architect Bernard Cache and the interconnection of their work. In examining this pedagogical relationship, the paper aims to underline a nurturing educational style relevant to contemporary architectural pedagogy.
