Educational Design-Build (EDB) has exploded in popularity over the last twenty years especially since it was reinvigorated by Samuel Mockbee’s Rural Studio at Auburn University in 1994. Although they may be unique to many practicing architects today (who often say “I wish I had a project I actually got to build in School”), EDB programs and projects are found at over 2/3rd’s of the 154 schools of architecture in North America today. These projects and experiences have come to be expected by today’s students who want to be involved from the initial conceptual design to installing the kitchen sink. EDB at its best, combine’s civic-minded, design education with project-based real-life experiences.
