Abstract

The architecture education methods should encompass theoretical knowledge, as well as professional and social concepts by evaluating the indicators of the world's leading schools of architecture. Architectural schools use more appropriate educational techniques and cover various activities involving knowledge, skills, and creativity. Architectural education is complex, and due to educational weaknesses today, there is a need for more extensive research in this field. Although many studies have been conducted on architecture education, few references have addressed the Bauhaus school, despite its success. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the applied indicators in the educational process of the Bauhaus school. A descriptive - analytical method was employed in this applied study, and the data were collected through library and documentary studies using a questionnaire. Then, the educational indicators of the Bauhaus school were prepared in three main components: upbringing, social and environment. Due to the fact that the extracted indices overlapped, 15 categories of indices were developed according to experts. The Meditation and Respiratory Movements Index had the lowest score and the importance of the score had the highest score for professors and students in the current architecture education system in Iran. Finally, solutions were proposed to enhance the quality of architectural education.
