When setting up programs to help architects in developing their
competences, we need to know what competences they need and how to
develop such competences. Architects need a broad variety of competences
from hard knowledge and skills to soft skills and the ability to apply
them properly. Finally, the mindset and the ways of thinking are crucial
for architects. Straight forward classroom teaching and online courses
seem insufficient to achieve the desired competence development. How can
organizations and education providers complement these training formats
to help architects in developing? What can individuals do to develop
themselves? What do various academic communities offer to help us
finding answers?
