Design Build

SUB-TOPICS

GET STARTED

Design Build refers to the opportunity in architectural education to learn from hands on building experience. SoA faculty with expertise in Design/Build seek to offer students these concrete learning experiences and to contribute research to the role of Design/Build in architectural pedagogy.

The core mission of Design/Build is to give students hands-on experience of architecture, engaging them with the underserved or not-for-profit community with prototypical solutions. This mission unites students and the community in ways that are mutually beneficial, while instilling the notion that architecture is a civic endeavor. Prototypical projects underscore that well-conceived architecture continues to have benefit by inciting further consideration and investigation. For Design/Build, it is the fabric of the repeated project that makes up so much of everyday life and the bulk of the built environment.
