Live Projects 2011 invites academics and teachers in architecture, built environment and design disciplines to a one day colloquium about the use of live projects in higher education.
A live project in architectural education may be defined as a teaching project that brings students of architecture into contact with one or more aspects of the reality of architectural practice: a real client, a real timeline and a real outcome that is of value to the client. Established as an adaptation of the studio-based model of architectural education, their origins lie in nineteen-fifties’ experiments in the university-based architectural education. Contemporary UK live projects are increasingly cited as developing broader skill-sets in their students than traditional studio based projects, often drawing reference from design/build or service learning projects in North America. Yet despite their established use in architectural education, live projects remain under theorised, with primarily descriptive rather than analytical research.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words accompanied by a summary CV should be submitted no later than 21 January 2011 to: liveprojects2011@qub.ac.uk
