In fact, they blend in so well that they are at times pretty difficult to find, even with a map. Walking along, head down, camera at the ready, eyes searching among the plethora of metal plates that, you have just become newly aware, litter our streets and pavements, you realise that you have been thrust into a new relationship with the city, that the relative invisibility of these plaques has forced you to look at the streets more attentively and at closer range.

Choice and framing of site(s) and concern(s) may be led by the formal educators. However, students contribute to the process of curation in methodologies and site practices. This component of architectural education is ‘a less easily nameable tradition’ which deserves more scrutiny as situated knowledge production in Architecture. The urban educator-curator selects made work (Las Vegas strip, traditional north India, places of extreme or contested urbanisation), identifies themes (car/pedestrian, self- sufficiency/adaptability, shopping, chaos), and makes sometimes provocative connections (symbol + sprawl, tradition + innovation, flux + order) which in some cases have significantly influenced the way cities are understood within and without the discipline of Architecture.
