A Slippery Slope of Authorship and Attribution: The Atelier Model and the Design/Build Conundrum

Focusing on the atelier model and design/build pedagogy, this paper explores the question of authorship and attribution in academia. While the legalities of copyright and authorship in architectural practice have been addressed legislatively and through adjudication, there is no analog to this clarification for academics. Defining authorship of creative work in academia often remains a murky question, particularly when students and instructors work together. This uncertainty poses a particular problem for academicsin pursuit of tenure where academic andcreative authorship remain the primary form of currency. Case studies of three design/build projects at different scales will shed light on the complicated relationship between teacher, student and the creative work emerging from the atelier model.
