Table 6 Academic Exchanges

ta ble

Table 6 demonstrates the considerable number of offers of co-operation and assistance from most schools which returned questionnaires. Each school has different assets and requirements but most express a willingness to exchange staff and to welcome visitors or guest lecturers, particularly practising architects. Some schools not located in the larger cities reported a problem of isolation which could be relieved by a staff exchange scheme.

When staff exchange may be difficult or not possible, it may still be possible to exchange material. The CAA has already made considerable efforts in this direction with its sets of slide lectures and manuals. At the time of sending out the questionnaire, only 22 (26%) schools had acquired some of the CAA material. Of these schools, 50% gave favourable comments on the value of the CAA material to the school, 32% gave non-committal replies, and 18% gave negative comments. There may be need for improvement in a few of the slide lectures, but this should not be allowed to deter a very fine scheme. A catalogue of CAA slide lectures and manuals is available from the CAA, Room 326, Grand Buildings, Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 5HB.
