This chapter examines an “informed interdisciplinary” instruction on architecture criticism, an approach focusing primarily on architecture, while incorporating insights and methods from other disciplines such as geography, literature, philosophy and sociology. I argue that the interpretation of architecture should be theoretically informed and that a hybrid teaching mode encompassing thematic inquiry, case studies, place-based and collaborative approaches enhances the cultural depth of architecture criticism. This integrated instruction helps students establish connections between theoretical concepts and design analysis, form and politics, history and modernity, and text and image, facilitating intellectual dialogue between the abstract and the concrete.
