Architectural Educators are represented by national and regional associations such as ACSA in the US, the ACA in Australia and New Zealand,[4] and the EAAE in Europe.
[5] Architecture has a history of being used as an educational tool, traditionally practised by architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, or as an educational heurism, as in the case of the work of Indian architect Anupama Kundoo.
Architecture was "archaically" defined in Western history by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (Rome c. 40 BC) as a culturally "higher order".
Other cultures also have aural and tactile non-textual architectural education traditions.
[7] Contemporary education about the order and placement of things has been regarded as a hermeneutic (in Schleiermacher's sense): as developing citizens' understanding about the ecological significance of arrangements of people and things in particular human environments.
