TEACHING
Hans-Christian Karlberg teaches in the undergraduate studios at the School of Architecture, University of Minnesota. With students he encourages correlative thinking, i.e. continuously finding ways in which we understand relationships between the detail and the whole, between society and the built form, between theory and practice.
“
Education is not to be viewed as something like filling a vessel with water but, rather,
assisting a flower to grow in its own way “ - Bertrand Russell
