The Academic Design/Build: A Model of Mutual Aid and Product/Process Integrity

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Travis Bell

The academic design/build project eschews the typical economic model for architectural project delivery in critical ways and in so doing offers a unique opportunity to demonstrate an alternative perspective on architecture’s role in society. Through a focus on mutual aid, as an organizational scheme, the academic design/build project can position architecture as a series of interrelated acts of voluntary gratitude; a learning tool, a method of production, a public service, a product and a process.
