civic partnership [7].To build such a partnership, the AMS facultyapproached the City of Bowling Green to explore potential opportunities for involving studentsin projects that would be mutually beneficial.According to Schuman the history of service-learning in schools of architecture and planning canbe found in the late 1960s where schools emphasized engaging students in the social issues andsupplementing classroom learning with community contact. Due to different circumstancesthrough the years’ service-learning has been more broadly accepted in planning programs than inarchitecture departments. A resurgence of interest in social engagement in professional practiceof architecture and schools can be seen in the late 1990s early 2000. [8

Select assignments and projects are includedas examples.Keywords: Interdisciplinary, structures, deployable, tensegrity, disaster-relief, outer-space,project-based learning.IntroductionBuilding structures are conventionally designed to have a long life-span. Structural designersare trained to think about design of stable structures. Materials and systems have beendiscovered to support that sentiment. There is, however, an advantage in introducing measuredinstability in structures. The result is a whole new world of transformable

Form should followforce, and not merely function.IntroductionTechnology is design. Technical concepts, especially in architecture curricula, should be taughtas design. However, structures courses in most architecture programs have long relied oncalculation based problem sets as their primary pedagogy. This approach is unrealistic and doesa disservice to students.

Asking them to set aside their personal biases to apply their design skills to aproject that would create a usable space for those that are afflicted with Sickle Cell, as well as aworking environment for those that provide much needed social services to them.

Under such precarity, designdisciplines often struggle to integrate local participants as primary project drivers. Design andconstruction knowledge, experience and jobs could leave with the foreigners who brought them.In these global projects, the West receives praise in case of success while risks befall on thelocals in case of failure. “Home” in this context is found in the West where designers manageprojects in the distant field of developing countries.

This paper posits that the application of structural knowledge in design studio is essential to an integrated design approach and as such, the structures curriculum should be directly linked to individual studio projects. Through analysis of the structural debates listed above, the paper discusses flexible curriculum components and multiple half-term courses to suit the needs of individual student schedules and correspondence to design studios. It also discusses strategies toward developing studio links that reinforce the design of structural systems from the concept phase of a project.Structures and the ArchitectArchitects do not strive to
