Less Talk More Action: Conscious Shifts in Architectural Education

Strategic Sites | Latent Ideas: Design Studio as a Platform for Activism

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Marleen Kay Davis

The hypothetical nature of a design studio course creates an ideal laboratory for testing new ideas for local communities. Students can learn from the challenges facing our cities, while their ideas can be of benefit to others. In the spirit of “less talk, more action,” this presentation outlines a strategy for leveraging studio engagement in the realm of ideas, as a contribution to community conversations. This presentation looks at identifying ideas for strategic sites, as a practice for future action.
