What is the role of reviews in architecture programs?

Reviews are an integral part of architecture programs as they provide a platform for students to present their design work and receive feedback from faculty members, visiting critics, and peers. The role of reviews is to assess the quality of the design projects, evaluate the effectiveness of the process, and provide constructive criticism to improve the design. Reviews facilitate open discussions and debates that enable students to hone their critical thinking and communication skills. Additionally, reviews offer an opportunity for external professionals to engage with students and provide insights from their practical experience. Ultimately, reviews play a significant role in shaping the architectural education by setting the standards, encouraging innovation, and preparing students for the industry.
