Book Launch and Pop-Up Exhibit for “<strong>The</strong> Design-Build Studio:<br />

Crafting Meaningful Work in Architectural Education”<br />

Norwich University will celebrate “<strong>The</strong> Design-Build<br />

Studio: Crafting Meaningful Work in Architectural Education,”<br />

a new book edited by Assistant Professor of Architecture<br />

Tolya Stonorov, with a reception on Wednesday, Jan. <strong>31</strong>, at 4<br />

p.m. at the Sullivan Museum and History Center Rotunda.<br />

Refreshments will be served.<br />

<strong>The</strong> public is invited to this free event which includes a<br />

pop-up exhibit of Stonorov’s original drawings from the<br />

book. Other Norwich book contributors, Associate Professor<br />

Danny Sagan, Dean of the College of Professional Schools<br />

Aron Temkin, Adjunct Professor Steve Kredell and alumnus<br />

Dan Wheeler, 2<strong>01</strong>5, will be on hand to sign books and discuss<br />

their contributions.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Design-Build Studio” examines 16 international community<br />

driven design-build case studies through process and<br />

product, with chapters on community involvement, digital<br />

and handcraft methodologies and a graphic Time Map. As a<br />

field guide to current trends in academic design-build studios,<br />

including Norwich University’s School of Architecture + Art,<br />

the work offers a look into the different design-build processes<br />

and methodologies and how they can be used to transform<br />

communities.<br />

Design-build supports the idea that building, making and<br />

designing are intrinsic to each other: knowledge of one<br />

strengthens and informs the expression of the other. Hands-on<br />

learning through the act of building what you design translates<br />

theories and ideas into real world experience. <strong>The</strong> work<br />

chronicled in this book reveals how this type of applied<br />

knowledge grounds us in the physicality of the world in which<br />

we live.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> pedagogies and methodologies exhibited in ‘<strong>The</strong><br />

Design-Build Studio’ embody the ethos of architecture education<br />

at Norwich, which is rooted in doing, but also in doing<br />

with purpose,” Stonorov said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> book has received great praise since its recent publication.<br />

Bryan Bell, Executive Director of Design Corps notes:<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Design-Build Studio is a deep dive into the methods and<br />

lessons of the important educational tool known as designbuild.<br />

<strong>The</strong> content provides a thorough presentation of the<br />

state of the art, and allows the reader to compare and contrast<br />

the thinking and making of thirty of the outstanding leaders in<br />

the field. This book presents a learning opportunity that will<br />

allow us all to better define what works well, and move further<br />

forward in the evolution of this inclusive, pluralistic, and<br />

transformative teaching method.”<br />

Clifford Curry, FAIA & Co-Founder of the Curry Stone<br />

Design Prize notes: “Stonorov advocates for a better architect<br />

- one that builds in a more complete way. <strong>The</strong> multi-faceted<br />

approach of building one’s designs with the added value of<br />

community contributions should be a required experience for<br />

every budding architect.”<br />
