Did you know that the traditional model of architectural education might be holding
you back? Many schools deliver excellent programs, yet the ARB now calls for a
radical shift—citing that education is too long, too expensive, and inconsistent.

In the latest episode of Business of Architecture, I’m joined by Peter Barker, partner at
Ryder Architecture, who shares his journey from studying ancient languages to
transforming one of the UK’s leading practices. Peter reveals how he learned most of
what he needed on the job, not in the classroom, and explains how innovative
apprenticeship programs are reshaping the future of architectural education.

We also discussed:
● Why a radical change in education is necessary
● How real-world experience fuels true learning
● The innovative approaches that balance creativity with practicality
