Full Description
The book tells the unwritten story of Chicago Studio over 25 years—a semester-long, place-based, experiential learning program harnessing the city as a learning lab through engagement of practitioners, city leaders and neighbourhoods, while also providing pedagogical assessment and a look going forward.
The authors have played various roles—lead educator, host firm, mentor—for the programme at various times and have come together to write their collective story. Architects usually write about buildings and their practices, but here the authors write about pedagogy and the collaboration between educators and practitioners. The book presents this unique model and what constitutes the elements for its resilience. It also includes pedagogical assessment of Chicago Studio with other transformational pedagogies globally. Originating in 2002, more than 400 students have benefitted from this programme. It developed from a network of professional and alumni relationships, and persisted as the network grew. The architects, allied professionals, city and community leaders rigorously supported the program through interactions with students - as mentor, critic, community activist, etc. Some contributors are well-known while others are emerging professionals. All have an unwavering commitment - every semester, every year. Over 20 Chicago architecture practices have served as host firms, over 250 allied practitioners, and many other community organisations and neighbourhood residents have impacted the students' education.
