Here's a proposed framework for promoting interdisciplinary collaboration within architectural education to adapt the design. Keep in mind that I am taking the Attention-Driven design approach which must first capture the participants' attention in context:

By following this framework, the architecture can promote interdisciplinary collaboration and adapt the design to meet the complex challenges of the modern attentional-focused world. Additionally, you could use the above approach to further the promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration in architectural education:

By implementing these strategies, architecture schools can promote interdisciplinary collaboration, equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to address climate change challenges and prepare them to build a sustainable future for people and the planet while also keeping in mind that any solution must capture the attention of the target audience.

I would also like to respectfully disagree with Zoncita Del Mundo Norman and the notion that Architecture and Engineering departments/schools/colleges should be located in the same physical building in a university campus. While physical proximity can certainly facilitate collaboration, there are several reasons why I believe that building a system of collaboration that is structured around virtual connections is the way forward.

Firstly, virtual collaboration enables people to connect and work together from anywhere in the world. By leveraging digital tools and platforms, architecture and engineering students can collaborate with experts and peers from different universities, countries, and time zones. This opens up a world of opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and global knowledge exchange.

Secondly, virtual collaboration allows for greater inclusivity and diversity in terms of who can participate. Many architecture and engineering students may face financial, social, or geographic barriers that prevent them from physically traveling to a centralized location. By embracing virtual collaboration, we can ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate and contribute.

Thirdly, building a habit of digital research and collaboration is crucial in today's fast-paced and interconnected world. By prioritizing virtual collaboration, we can equip students with the digital skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their future careers. In the architecture and engineering fields, virtual collaboration is already becoming increasingly important as more and more design and construction work is conducted remotely.

While physical proximity can certainly be beneficial for collaboration, I believe that building a system of collaboration that is structured around virtual connections is the way forward and is best implemented when considered from the start. By embracing digital tools and platforms, we can build a more inclusive, diverse, and innovative community of architecture and engineering students and professionals, and equip them with the skills they need to thrive in an attention-driven digital world.
