ABSTRACT

Over more than a decade Design/Build Studio in the Department of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Nottingham (UoN) in England has engaged more than 350 students of architecture and raised more than half a million pounds to fund the construction and delivery of childcare facilities in South Africa. This chapter presents a critical history of the UoN Design/Build Studio and explores the conflation of the interpretations and intentions of design-build and live project pedagogies.
