Integrating a Studio: An ACSA/Autodesk Video
ACSA member school, Pennsylvania State University, teaches emerging design and project delivery methods in the studio. These methods, leveraged by powerful building information modeling technologies, involve early collaboration with the full spectrum of participants in design, engineering, and construction. In the studio classroom, this translates into similar experiences, encouraging collaborative work in the studio among disciplines and teaches students to produce a comprehensive architectural project facilitated by building information modeling.
