Job Talks for Architects

Perhaps architects and planners should have "job talks," where we present papers to each other, in the spirit of how the Academy hires a new faculty member. They could be organized by groups with appropriate affinities (such as "campus planners" or "commercial interior designers") but representing varying opinions.

In some ways it would resemble the juries of our architectural education, but be more about ideas than specific designs. We would learn learn how to better communicate our worldview, and hopefully learn from each other's work.
