The Design-Build Studio
The Design-Build Studio examines sixteen international community driven design-build case studies through process and product, with preceding chapters on community involvement, digital and handcraft methodologies and a graphic Time Map. Together these projects serve as a field guide to the current trends in academic design-build studios, a window into the different processes and methodologies being taught and realized today. Design-build supports the idea that building, making and designing are intrinsic to each other: knowledge of one strengthens and informs the expression of the other. Hands-on learning through the act of building what you design translates theories and ideas into real world experience. The work chronicled in this book reveals how this type of applied knowledge grounds us in the physicality of the world in which we live.

Becoming Michelangelo : apprenticing to the master, and discovering the artist through his drawings
\"An artist's extraordinary challenge to himself reveals the genius of Michelangelo in the making. Many believe Michelangelo's talent was miraculous and untrained, the product of 'divine' genius, but the young Michelangelo studied art like any Renaissance apprentice, learning from a master and experimenting with materials and styles. As a grad student in art history, Alan Pascuzzi won a Fulbright scholarship to 'apprentice' himself to Michelangelo, studying his extant drawings and copying them to learn the progression of his technique, mastery of anatomy and composition, and understanding of human potential. Pascuzzi also relied on the Renaissance treatise that 'Il Divino' himself would have been familiar with, Cennino Cennini's The Craftsman's Handbook (1399), which was available to apprentices as a kind of textbook of the period. Pascuzzi's narrative traces Michelangelo's development from student and young artist to master during the period from roughly 1485 to his completion of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in 1512. Analyzing Michelangelo's burgeoning abilities through copies he himself executed in museums and galleries in Florence and elsewhere, Pascuzzi unlocks the transformation that made him great. At the same time, he narrates his own transformation from student to artist as Michelangelo's last apprentice\"-- Provided by publisher.

Practical Experience
The year out, or internship, in a professional practice can be the most rewarding experience in an architectural student's education. It can also be a shock to the system to find that architectural working practices are very different to architectural study. This book provides a beginner's guide to professional practice and a step-by-step guide on how to find the placement that best suits your goals. It is the fourth title in the successful 'Seriously Useful Guides...' series.In order to give you a real insight into professional experience, this guide includes reallife case studies from students who have been through the experience and from practices that have taken them on. It guides you through the steps of finding a placement, outlines the norms and expectations for internship in different countries, and discusses codes of office behavior and professional ethics. Contemporary architecturalpractices are becoming increasingly diverse and this guide outlines some Practical experience/Internship choices, providing cases studies of award wining firms that offer practical experience. These case studies range from conventional practices based on the art of building, to practices based on digital media or contemporary urbanism. Finally, the term 'critical practice' is becoming increasingly important, and the book provides some definitions and examples of critically based architectural practices.Also in the Seriously Useful Guides Series:* The Crit* The The Portfolio* The Dissertation

Teaching Accessible Space in Architectural Education: Comparison of the Effectiveness of Simulated Disability Training and Expert-Led Methods
In recent years, architectural education in Europe has focused on teaching future architects to design accessible spaces for people with disabilities. One popular teaching method is simulated disability training (SDT). This approach allows students to experience the challenges faced by disabled individuals in order to build empathy and understanding. However, SDT has sparked debate. Critics, including disability activists, argue that it may oversimplify the experiences of disabled people. They worry that it could reinforce stereotypes instead of promoting real understanding. These critics prefer expert-led training, where students learn directly from professionals and individuals with lived disability experiences. They believe that this method is more ethical and respectful. To explore this debate, the authors of this study compared the two teaching methods. They examined how well the students remembered accessibility information and how sensitive they became to disability issues. The participants, all without physical disabilities, experienced simulated disabilities such as using crutches, wheelchairs, or navigating blindfolded with a white cane. The results showed that the students who underwent the SDT retained the information better and were more sensitive to accessibility needs than those in expert-led sessions. Although SDT shows promise, the authors stress that teaching accessibility should 1 balance effectiveness with ethical concerns, ensuring dignity and respect for disabled individuals.

Architecture Live Projects
Architecture Live Projects provides a persuasive, evidence-based advocacy for moving a particular kind of architectural learning, known as Live Projects, towards a holistic integration into current and future architectural curricula.
Live Projects are work completed in the borderlands between architectural education and built environment practice; they include design/build work, community-based design, urban advocacy consulting and a host of other forms and models described by the book’s international group of authors. Because of their position, Live Projects as a vehicle for simultaneously providing teaching and service has the potential to recalibrate the contesting claims that both academia and profession make on architecture.
This collection of essays and case studies consolidates current discussions on theory and learning ambitions, academic best practices, negotiation with licensure and accreditation, and considerations of architectural integrity. It is an invaluable resource for current and future Live Projects advocates – whether they aim to move from pedagogy into practice or practice into pedagogy.

A new approach to teaching technical subjects in training restoration architects
The paper is devoted to teaching engineering subjects in the field of study “Restoration and renovation of architectural heritage.” It demonstrates the necessity of changing the existing approach to teaching engineering design and construction to renovation architects. Based on our experience of teaching Building mechanics, we have developed a new approach to teaching Design Basis of Engineering Restoration with the active application of advanced information technologies into teaching and learning activities. The paper provides our recommendations for curriculum planning; it explains time expenditures for studying the subject by semesters, presents topical programs for Design Basis of Engineering Restoration, and recommends methods of current and summative assessment of students’ knowledge.
