The beginning of architectural education was much influenced by a Euro-centric orientation and only partially marked by pre-colonial intellectual traditions. Of course it is true that the way of thinking of early Indonesian scholars has been greatly influenced by western development but in the late 20th century, now is the time to achieve a more balanced perspective of our cultural heritage. Though the academic tradition of architectural education originated from Europe and became established mainly through colonisation, which in turn has led to the present system of schooling. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Ilmu pengetahuan yang berkembang pada masa pertama kali pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia terbentuk pada permulaan awal ke-20, dimana pada masa itu Indonesia masih di bawah penjajahan Belanda. Pada masa awalnya pendidikan arsitektur di Indonesia berorientasi pada sistem pendidikan arsitektur di Eropa karena para pendidik pada masa itu mempunyai latar belakang tradisi Eropa. Tentu saja bahwa cara berfikir para arsitek generasi pertama Indonesia sangat dipengaruhi perkembangan arsitektur Barat, tetapi pada akhir abad ke-20 sudah saatnya untuk mencari sesuatu perspektif yang seimbang dengan peninggalan budaya kita. Walaupun tradisi pendidikan arsitektur berasal dari Eropa dan berkembang ke Indonesia lewat penjajahan Belanda tetapi harus kita sesuaikan dengan perkembangan masa kini.
