Michael Monti emphasizes that architectural education must focus not only on technical skills but also on foundational values and ethics that contribute to enriching 'civilized life.' He notes that graduates should enhance the dignity, freedom, health, and well-being of society through architecture, indicating that without these values, education risks producing mere technicians instead of citizen-architects.
Monti argues that while architectural schools may have solid curricula, the real issue lies in how higher education's purpose is assessed in practice. He believes universities need to foster the whole student, promoting a comprehensive educational landscape that includes core skills, values, and the opportunity for a variety of extracurricular activities.
