In choosing our students, we seek an
attitude of creativity, an aptitude for
ideation
Naturally, students of Architecture are
disinclined to deal with notions of
destruction
A teacher in ERM has to address this
fundamental contradiction
The apparent handicap has to be turned
into an advantage

The first step is
SENSITIZATION

arousing the students senses.
However it cannot be ordered to
happen during the class!
