Book Synopsis The Design-Build Studio by : Tolya Stonorov
Download or read book The Design-Build Studio written by Tolya Stonorov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Design-Build Studio examines sixteen international community driven design-build case studies through process and product, with preceding chapters on community involvement, digital and handcraft methodologies and a graphic Time Map. Together these projects serve as a field guide to the current trends in academic design-build studios, a window into the different processes and methodologies being taught and realized today. Design-build supports the idea that building, making and designing are intrinsic to each other: knowledge of one strengthens and informs the expression of the other. Hands-on learning through the act of building what you design translates theories and ideas into real world experience. The work chronicled in this book reveals how this type of applied knowledge grounds us in the physicality of the world in which we live.
Book Synopsis Spatial Design Education by : Ashraf M. Salama
Download or read book Spatial Design Education written by Ashraf M. Salama and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design education in architecture and allied disciplines is the cornerstone of design professions that contribute to shaping the built environment of the future. In this book, design education is dealt with as a paradigm whose evolutionary processes, underpinning theories, contents, methods, tools, are questioned and critically examined. It features a comprehensive discussion on design education with a focus on the design studio as the backbone of that education and the main forum for creative exploration and interaction, and for knowledge acquisition, assimilation, and reproduction. Through international and regional surveys, the striking qualities of design pedagogy, contemporary professional challenges and the associated sociocultural and environmental needs are identified. Building on twenty-five years of research and explorations into design pedagogy in architecture and urban design, this book authoritatively offers a critical analysis of a continuously evolving profession, its associated societal processes and the way in which design education reacts to their demands. Matters that pertain to traditional pedagogy, its characteristics and the reactions developed against it in the form of pioneering alternative studio teaching practices. Advances in design approaches and methods are debated including critical inquiry, empirical making, process-based learning, and Community Design, Design-Build, and Live Project Studios. Innovative teaching practices in lecture-based and introductory design courses are identified and characterized including inquiry-based, active and experiential learning. These investigations are all interwoven to elucidate a comprehensive understanding of contemporary design education in architecture and allied disciplines. A wide spectrum of teaching approaches and methods is utilized to reveal a theory of a ’trans-critical’ pedagogy that is conceptualized to shape a futuristic thinking about design teaching. Lessons learned from techniques and mechanisms for accommodation, adaptation, and implementation of a ‘trans-critical’ pedagogy in education are conceived to invigorate a new student-centered, evidence-based design culture sheltered in a wide variety of learning settings in architecture and beyond.

Book Synopsis DesignBuild in Postcolonial Contexts: A Critical Interrogation by : Vera Simone Bader
Download or read book DesignBuild in Postcolonial Contexts: A Critical Interrogation written by Vera Simone Bader and published by Sto-Stiftung. This book was released on with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In diesem Buch betrachten neun Autorinnen die Lernmethode DesignBuild im postkolonialen Kontext. Anhand konkreter Beispiele wird die handlungsorientierte Vorgehensweise kritisch hinterfragt und evaluiert. Dabei liegt ein Fokus auf den Auslandseinsätzen europäischer und US-amerikanischer Studierender, die in für sie fremden Kulturen ihr frisch erworbenes Wissen aktiv einsetzen. Es werden aber auch Projekte von Studierenden aus Lateinamerika, Asien und Afrika dokumentiert und analysiert, die diese Methode als Experimentierfeld nutzen, um normative Regeln, die häufig noch heute von der Kolonisierung geprägt sind, in Frage zu stellen.
Book Synopsis Participatory Practice in Space, Place, and Service Design by : Kelly L. Anderson
Download or read book Participatory Practice in Space, Place, and Service Design written by Kelly L. Anderson and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Participatory Practice in Space, Place, and Service Design' is premised on a belief in the importance of participatory practices in finding creative solutions to the plethora of problems we face today. It argues that engaging professions with the public in mutual exploration, analysis, and creative thinking is essential. It not only ensures better quality products, places, services, and a greater sense of civic agency but also facilitates fuller access to them and the life opportunities they can unleash. This book offers a uniquely varied perspective of the myriad ways in which participatory practices operate across disciplines and how they impact the worlds and communities we create and inhabit. This book suggests that participatory practices are multi-disciplinary and relevant in fields as diverse as design, architecture, education, health care, sustainability, and community activism, to name a few of those discussed here. How do designed objects and environments affect wellness, creativity, learning, and a sense of belonging? How do products and services affect everyday experience and attitudes towards issues such as sustainability? How does giving people a creative voice in their own education, services, and built environments open up their potential and strengthen identity and civic agency? Addressing these questions requires a rethinking of relations between people, objects, and environments; it demands attention to space, place, and services.
Book Synopsis Learning by Building by : William J. Carpenter
Download or read book Learning by Building written by William J. Carpenter and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1997-04-03 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning by Building challenges today’s architects and students to experience the energy and creativity of construction. Based on the example of famous architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, who considered construction an integral part of the design process, "design-build" is standard practice in growing numbers of today’s architecture firms. Architect and professor William J. Carpenter explores ways to integrate construction into architectural education, bridging the gap between theory and practice—between designing and building. Mr. Carpenter traces the history of construction in architectural education, from medieval times, to Jefferson’s Monticello, to the German Bauhaus. He cites twentieth-century artists such as Richard Serra and Donald Judd, whose work is generated by the process of making; like the artist, "the architect should be immersed in the potential of construction." Ten in-depth case studies of schools that have incorporated design-build into their curriculum illustrate how construction studios help future architects learn real-life pragmatics and collaboration. Through text and photographs, Mr. Carpenter recounts the diverse experiences of high-profile schools such as Cranbrook and Yale University, providing models for other schools that wish to include design-build in their curriculums. Mr. Carpenter also gives a helpful outline of the practical details involved in design-build, such as team issues, legal issues, and built applications of the process. Learning by Building is a wake-up call to architects and students alike to immerse themselves in the process of architecture—to rediscover, or witness for the first time, the excitement of building.
Book Synopsis Design/Build with Jersey Devil by : Charlie Hailey
Download or read book Design/Build with Jersey Devil written by Charlie Hailey and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve Badanes, Jim Adamson, and John Ringel believe an architect's job does not stop at designing a building, but that it extends to constructing it as well. Now working into their fifth decade, Jersey Devil, the loose-knit group they founded in 1972, bands together under this design/build ethos that an architect's place is just as much on the job site as it is at the drawing board. The trio pioneered design/build practice and their influence has spawned more than one hundred design/build programs. Jersey Devil's process and expertise are unpacked in this Architecture Brief, providing students and teachers with a toolkit for design/build education. Through stories, didactic commentary, and sample exercises, the Design/Build complements nuts-and-bolts content with Jersey Devil's philosophy and perspective, allowing the book to impart practical instruction while acting as a valuable guide for navigating the elusive challenges of design/build. Themes touch on socially responsible architecture, intuition and intentionality, detailing and fostering craftsmanship, group work and collaboration, off-the-shelf components and nonstandard applications, educational reform, ethos and risk, good life and play, the politics of building, and university-community relations.
Book Synopsis Active Learning: Theoretical Perspectives, Empirical Studies and Design Profiles by : Robert Cassidy
Download or read book Active Learning: Theoretical Perspectives, Empirical Studies and Design Profiles written by Robert Cassidy and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the emerging efforts of a growing international network of researchers and practitioners to promote the development and uptake of evidence-based pedagogies in higher education, at something a level approaching large-scale impact. By offering a communication venue that attracts and enhances much needed partnerships among practitioners and researchers in pedagogical innovation, we aim to change the conversation and focus on how we work and learn together – i.e. extending the implementation and knowledge of co–design methods. In this first edition of our Research Topic on Active Learning, we highlight two (of the three) types of publications we wish to promote. First are studies aimed at understanding the pedagogical designs developed by practitioners in their own practices by bringing to bear the theoretical lenses developed and tested in the education research community. These types of studies constitute the "practice pull" that we see as a necessary counterbalance to "knowledge push" in a more productive pedagogical innovation ecosystem based on research-practitioner partnerships. Second are studies empirically examining the implementations of evidence-based designs in naturalistic settings and under naturalistic conditions. Interestingly, the teams conducting these studies are already exemplars of partnerships between researchers and practitioners who are uniquely positioned as “in-betweens” straddling the two worlds. As a result, these publications represent both the rigours of research and the pragmatism of reflective practice. In forthcoming editions, we will add to this collection a third type of publication -- design profiles. These will present practitioner-developed pedagogical designs at varying levels of abstraction to be held to scrutiny amongst practitioners, instructional designers and researchers alike. We hope by bringing these types of studies together in an open access format that we may contribute to the development of new forms of practitioner-researcher interactions that promote co-design in pedagogical innovation.
Book Synopsis Design-Build by : Daniel Winterbottom
Download or read book Design-Build written by Daniel Winterbottom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design-Build provides everything you need to know about how to embark on a design-build project within a studio or professional practice setting. Design-build models have increased across academic programs worldwide, allowing students to address the real-world challenges of working in the community using a participatory design process. In practice, they offer a full partnership between the designer and builder to elevate design concepts and reduce project costs. Written by an experienced practitioner and educator, this book offers contextual background on the development of the design-build model in pedagogy and practice, guidance from inception to conclusion for classroom and field usage, discussions on the shift to community-engaged design and inspirational examples from international case studies. Illustrated in full color throughout, it looks at structuring a design-build firm, best-practice, efficiency and the limitations of design-build as a practice model. This is the fundamental guidebook for those interested in developing or working for a design-build professional practice, academics leading design-build programs and students interested in social and environmental justice, education, and practice through a design-build model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die von der Sto-Stiftung unterstützte Buchreihe „DesignBuild REFLECT" beleuchtet theoriebildende und projektübergreifende Fragestellungen der Lehr- und Lernmethode „DesignBuild“. Als erstes der auf vier Bücher angelegten Reihe ist nun „DesignBuild_joint perspectives“ erschienen. In diesem Buch erörtern die Autorinnen und Autoren eine gemeinsame DesignBuild-Hypothese anhand des Spannungsfeldes zwischen gesellschaftlicher Transformation, Architekturausbildung und -produktion. An der Schnittstelle zwischen akademischem und nicht-akademischem Umfeld verknüpfen DesignBuild-Projekte ganz verschiedene Sichtweisen: Sie verbinden Elfenbeinturm mit Baustelle, CAD-Zeichenprogramm mit Kreissäge, Studierende mit nicht-universitären Kollaborationspartnerinnen und Kollaborationspartnern. Sie agieren im Spannungsfeld von Praxis, Forschung und Lehre. Vor diesem Hintergrund legt das Publikationsprojekt DesignBuild_joint perspectives seinen Fokus auf eine kollektive Reflektion über DesignBuild als Methode in der Architekturausbildung durch zwei der zentralen Akteurinnen und Akteure: Lehrende und Lernende. Das Buch beleuchtet die persönliche und geschichtliche Bedeutung von DesignBuild sowie die Herausforderungen, die sich für die Autorinnen und Autoren aus Intention und Realität ergeben. Basierend auf den Arbeiten und ausgehend von den Betrachtungsebenen der Verfassenden – als Studierende beziehungsweise Lehrende – erarbeitet das Team eine „joint perspective“, also eine gemeinsame Perspektive. In ihrem Buch erörtern die Autorinnen und Autoren eine gemeinsame DesignBuild-Hypothese anhand des Spannungsfeldes zwischen gesellschaftlicher Transformation, Architekturausbildung und -produktion, in dem DesignBuild agiert, und übersetzen sie in eine joint-perspective-Matrix.

Book Synopsis Architectural Education Through Materiality by : Elke Couchez
Download or read book Architectural Education Through Materiality written by Elke Couchez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of architectural knowledge was cultivated through drawings, models, design-build experimental houses and learning environments in the 20th century? And, did new teaching techniques and tools foster pedagogical, institutional and even cultural renewal? Architectural Education Through Materiality: Pedagogies of 20th Century Design brings together a collection of illustrated essays dedicated to exploring the complex processes that transformed architecture’s pedagogies in the 20th century. The last decade has seen a substantial increase in interest in the history of architectural education. This book widens the geographical scope beyond local school histories and sets out to discover the very distinct materialities and technologies of schooling as active agents in the making of architectural schools. Architectural Education Through Materiality argues that knowledge transmission cannot be reduced to ‘software’, the relatively easily detectable ideas in course notes and handbooks, but also has to be studied in close relation to the ‘hardware’ of, for instance, wall pictures, textiles, campus designs, slide projectors and even bodies. Presenting illustrated case studies of works by architects, educators and theorists including Dalibor Vesely, Dom Hans van der Laan, the Global Tools group, Heinrich Wölfflin, Alfons Hoppenbrouwers, Joseph Rykwert, Pancho Guedes and Robert Cummings, and focusing on student-led educational initiatives in Europe, the UK, North America and Australia, the book will inspire students, educators and professionals with an interest in the many ways architectural knowledge is produced and taught.
