Part 2 discussion combined 2 topics discussed earlier on "architecture students missing skill set" with " the architect entrepreneur, design thesis and hypothesis". Further analysis on the 2 other students who dealt with the eco-system (system thinking) using their architectural project showed an entrepreneurial aspect - please read about these: Wong Chiang Her's Botanic Gardens and Wong Joe Yee's Vertical Neighbourhood Shared Space.
The conclusion proposed that the learning for this generation (Gen Zs) can be perfunctory, where a first degree (part 1) graduate may acquire the 'architect entrepreneur' sense even earlier, as depicted by two persons I had known personally. This could be the game changer for architecture education where to acquire the first degree in architecture is enough.
