The stakeholder wants to experience the job of an architect because they do not know the required skills. Some ideas presented to address this include: 1) Doing internships in architect offices for the entire period of study to learn directly from practitioners while working on real projects. 2) Using role-playing games instead of traditional lectures, where students take on roles like architect, investor, and inhabitant to learn through a gamified process focused on peer reviews and real factors that influence architects. 3) Spending the first year observing how people interact with buildings and taking notes, to learn design thinking methods.
