Norwich University Design Build Studio Book Discussion

Past event
Jan 31, 2018, 4 to 6 PM

Norwich University's Sullivan Museum and History Center hosts Book Launch Celebration: “The Design Build Studio” with Editor Tolya Stonorov (Assistant Professor of Architecture) and Contributors Danny Sagan (Norwich Architecture professor), Aron Temkin (architect and dean of Norwich’s School of Architecture + Art), Adjunct Professor Steve Kredell, John Mcleod and alumnus Dan Wheeler ’15. Public invited to this free event, and refreshments will be served.

“The Design-Build Studio” examines 16 international community driven design-build case studies through process and product, with chapters on community involvement, digital and handcraft methodologies and a graphic Time Map. As a field guide to current trends in academic design-build studios, including Norwich University’s School of Architecture + Art, the work offers a look into the different design-build processes and methodologies and how they can be used to transform communities.

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.
