ABSTRACT

The Case Study Time Map is a family tree of sorts. Each design-build case study program is shown at the year it began. An iconic project for each program is drawn in the dashed rounded rectangles above. Any key design-build influence or important connection is also placed at the year it began and the connections between these programs are drawn in blue. The red dots are placed at the year the program commenced and continue for as long as the program stayed active. The gray 10" transparent tone shows the rise in the number of academic design-build programs over the years. The history of the design-build studio is a complicated and sometimes convoluted one. This graphic time map locates the influences and inspirations of the programs, but it does not assume to be comprehensive. If the relationships between the programs that are documented appear complex, it is representative of the interconnectedness of this movement.
