2023 ACSA/EAAE Teachers Conference, Educating the Cosmopolitan Architect

Engaged Storytellers- Drawing Out Stories - Amplifying Voices

Teachers Proceedings

Author(s): Jill Bambury

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Essy Baniassad, former Dean of the School of Architecture at Dalhousie University who passed away in 2023. Essy was a cosmopolitan architectural educator and a man of many stories. At a memorial for him in Hong Kong this spring, his students, colleagues, classmates and friends from four continents quoted him saying “In architecture, there is little to teach but much to learn”. It is in this spirit that I begin to tell this story – for so much of what we learn or need to learn comes from hearing the stories and amplifying the voices of all.
