The Ghost in the Machine: Integrated Design as a Hidden Tool of Innovation

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Damon E. Caldwell

In 2014, the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) revised its Conditions for Accreditation, expanding the realms of the student performance criteria (SPCs) from three realms to four. Integrated Architectural Solutions is now a distinct realm, no longer a subset of Building Practices, Technical Skills and Knowledge. This expansion must be viewed as a bold pedagogical statement from the various academic and professional stakeholders; that integrated design is fundamental to the future of the profession, and therefore must be fundamental to the education of tomorrow’s architects.
