In this video, Robert Adam tells about his experiences at architecture college back in the early 70's. Have times changed since then? Yes, a bit. But architectural education is still mostly modernist and there are plenty of examples of students being bullied when they want to design something classical or traditional. Only at a select number of universities, most notably Notre Dame University is it currently possible to follow a fully traditional / classical curriculum.
Prof. Adam's story is just one example of a clash between traditional minded students and modernist institutions, there are many, many more. It happens up to this day. Let us hope that more faculties will start to offer traditional and classical techniques to undergrad students at some point again - at least to offer them the choice to study it, instead of only offering it as part of a Master's course.
