An Examination of Design/Build Projects in the Education of an Architect

Abstract

This thesis aims to provide an examination of design/build projects as a mode of educating architects from the perspective of a recurring student participant. Contemporary scholarly articles are synthesized with the observations of a student with a range of experience to form a position on the place and purpose of design/build in architectural education. Additionally, these conclusions are used to formulate an outline of the ideal design/build course for architecture students.
