Abstract
Abstract Design studio, workshop, practical placement and design-build concept, are all forms of experiential learning. The aim of this paper is to investigate the significance of design-build concept and to define the extent to which it has penetrated into architectural curricula. Results indicate variety in understanding, programming and implementation among different schools. Conducted comparative analysis of different case examples could be used as a guideline to schools in which this concept has not been introduced yet.
Highlights
The report “highlighted the need to broaden the scope of architectural education to the design of the entire built environment and to engage students in solving community-related problems” [5, 282]
Spatial level Significant category in design-built projects, which affects the definition of many important aspects, is the place, i.e. the Making + Meaning Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) offers Making + Meaning: a five-week summer program, which introduces the principles of spatial experimentation and design methodologies through the creative processes of architecture
To examine to which extent the design-build concept penetrated in contemporary architectural education, different examples of recently conducted design-build projects were analysed (Table 1)
Summary
The report “highlighted the need to broaden the scope of architectural education to the design of the entire built environment and to engage students in solving community-related problems” [5, 282] These principles were later implemented both through the community-design workshops and designbuilt studios. South Africa Ithuba Project “The content of the course is important, but so the commitment of the lecturer and how the course is taught This is best illustrated in the case of building a school in the South African Republic by students from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Ljubljana. They develop design and later build a relatively small installation for a family residence or for some other purpose of a certain institution Being at their fifth year of studies, selected students gather once again to finish the group thesis − the project.
