Neshat Shirazi

An essay on aesthetic judgment in architectural education, developed through Neshat Shirazi’s experiences across BIHE and the Bergen School of Architecture. Moving between questions of beauty, taste, tacit knowledge, language, and pedagogy, the essay asks what architects learn when they learn to see, and how aesthetic judgment can be discussed without reducing it either to objective rules or to mere personal preference.
