The architectural crit, review or jury is a cornerstone of
architectural education around the world. Students defend their
ideas, drawings, and models in open forum before staff and fellow
students. What academic staff see as healthy creative debate,
students see as hostile confrontation, an ego-trip for staff and
humiliation for them.

This accessible and readable book, written by students and
illustrated by telling cartoons, guides them through this academic
minefield with creative humour. It provides practical advice based
on experience of many recent students and draws on recent
experimentation at Sheffield University and De Montfort University
Leicester. The aim is twofold: first to suggest how to get the most
out of the traditional experience and second, to describe ways in
which this is being developed into an experience that will be more
constructive and prepare future students to build more creative
relationships with clients and users, and across the
industry.

has been done to prepare students for it or to develop it in the

profession.
