Crafting Production: Design Build as Alternative Practice
Academically driven design-build is an alternative-and even subversive-way to build, incorporating social needs, political will, and a novice yet ideological workforce. The ramifications of Modernism and the opportunities and liabilities of the postindustrial context have created ideal conditions for academically driven design-build efforts to thrive. Today's design-build agent selectively engages high- and low-tech means in the service of a bigger agenda, understanding architecture as a social production as much as a technological one. For the case study presented here, issues of social justice and community-oriented design become key motivations for the production of architecture through a messy but rich partnership of students, faculty, community leaders, city officials, and construction professionals.
