System Must Be
Iowa Dean Tells
Reformed,
Architects
An Iowa architectural educator
charged Thursday that there must
ae a reformation of the nation’s
systems or there will be “a head
bashing, gun shooting, city burn
ing” revolution.
Raymond Reed, Iowa State Uni
versity dean, addressed students,
educators and practicing archi
tects at the Texas Regional Con
ference of Associated Student
Chapters of the American Insti-
tue of Architects here.
“Should the United States do
little to provide a designed hu
mane environment, the demands
increased millions will lower
the quality of life below the stan
dards of human dignity,” said
Reed. “Life sentences in the slums
will discourage patriotism. En-
world in common, Reed proposed
grouping their strength in a com
mon purpose.
HE SUGGESTED the group be
prepared as individuals and as a
profession for extreme changes
in environment. History testifies
that nations can die, he added.
The educator said he “seriously
questions the abilities of the uni
versity to provide an adequate
and complete education in the
design professions.”
He identified some universities
as exporting students from the
use what-
technology
campus to places like Copenhagen
or Yucatan, a fishing village,
“and they are receiving a better
education than on campus.”
Reed said educators must pre
pare to intelligently
ever materials and
may be available.
“AS THE possibilities are ex
treme, less emphasis should be
placed upon a mastery of con
ventional materials and methods
of architectural practice,” he sug
gested. “Increased emphasis
should be placed upon the ability
to synthesize a broad range of
human and natural resources.”
Increased emphasis must be
placed on the development of in
dividual aptitudes, less on tra
ditional profession conformities,
Reed stressed.
“We should strive to encourage
resilient minds rather than better
memories,” he cautioned.
vironmental discontent will force
the frustrated and the slum dwell
ers to join the revolutionaries.”
DESCRIBING the remarks as
his own rather than those of the
AIA Committee on Education he
chairs, Reed asserted there must
a revolutionary increase in
man’s abilities to build a better
world or there will be revolution.
“Any attempt by ultra-conserv
atives to rigidly legislate a return
to ‘the good old days’ will only
fan the flames to greater intens
ity,” he declared. “The winds of
change are upon us . . .”
He urged acceptance of tasks
before the people that “these can
be the best of times, and not the
worst.”
“We must first recognize that
civil rights are environmental
rights. Housing, education, clean,
safe and enjoyable cities, work
and recreational opportunities
describe our environment, not our
politics,” Reed continued.
THE KEYNOTER spoke to
I representatives from seven Texas
colleges and universities plus the
architectural profession.
“The most important fact I can
express to you is that designers
and builders are more important
than lawyers,” Reed claimed. “If
we build a country that reflects
our values, fewer laws will be
needed. Laws are written to cor
rect failures.”

commented Col. Jim M. McCoy,
commandant.
“Ideally,” he said, “architects
are more important than lawyers.
Environment more important
than law . . . but not architects

environment we now experience.”
