What is the role of global perspectives in architecture programs?

The role of global perspectives in architecture programs is to promote a better understanding of the diverse cultural, environmental, and socio-economic factors that impact the built environment around the world. This involves teaching architecture students about different approaches to design, building techniques, and materials used in various regions of the world. It also involves exploring the social and environmental challenges that architects face when designing buildings in different parts of the world, such as sustainability, climate change, and urbanization. By incorporating global perspectives in architecture programs, students gain a broader understanding of the role of architecture in society and the impact it can have on the world. This prepares them to become responsible and ethical architects who can create buildings that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also responsive to the needs of diverse communities and the environment.
