What can be said about the critique nomenclature of most design schools, nothing other then, nestled in a place of expected parameters. This may not concern every department or every school, and I can speak only with my own exposure to reviews (mid and final), but pushing the set common practices or comforts of these expected parameters should be heavily considered if not a priority. Someone in a recent discussion panel on architectural discourse recently questioned, how many colleges and schools employ the famous and sometimes infamous “studio” space. The answer was alarming close to every school. Where as the following question should be, does this ‘studio’ suite every school? I only evoke this subject in order to question my own reviews, and to promote what has been the exception to this expected parameter of inter-departmental critique, which has been David’s, Listening Critiques. Establishing a [time]frame around which work from a variety of departments can be considered and critiqued at the same time and frame, reveals the potential for expanding out of one’s comfort or common practices.
