According to Dr.Joseph Lstiburek, “During the post-war building boom, the emphasis on educating architectsshifted to aesthetics and design theory relating to aesthetics and away from the fundamentalaspects of construction and understanding of materials, assemblies, building systems, andsubsystems2.” The division of labor is a logical outgrowth of the increased knowledge needed to masterthe expanding profession. For instance, it would be quite a challenge to learn all the newcomplex structural technologies and theories concurrently with a full architectural education.This could again be said of the

The quality of the design product assists in the assessment, but does notnecessarily reflect the quality of the team. Team performance is as dependent on groupdynamics, human behavior, leadership, cooperation, shared work effort and organizationas it is on the knowledge and performance of individuals.This paper focuses on the selection and assessment of teams in this course.

The Lagos research by Harvard team teaches us that the distance itselfneeds to be critically examined. The purpose is not to eliminate it. Rather, distance anddifference between home and field should be used as a tool to create work rooted in connectivitybetween the two. This is where

The approach to identifying diversity-defining characteristics is intended to revealkey indicators inherent to primary form responses. These indicators, in part, grow out of basicarchitectural determinants of form and may be simplified into the following taxonomy of threegroupings of factors: external (PLACE), internal (PEOPLE) and the in-between(ARCHITECTURE) indicators. External indicators present opportunities for integration ofcultural and contextual diversity.
