Abstract

People must be aware of architecture and related sciences and technologies, and architectural education to nurture conscious citizens is as important as it is for professionals. A recent quantitative survey with 2,000 respondents in Japan revealed only about 15% are interested in ‘shelter’ out of three essentials in everyday life: food, clothing, and shelter. They did not acknowledge architecture as essential in their lives.
