semester longdesign studio. Extensive pre and post surveys were administered to the students toevaluate the course‟s effectiveness in using building performance simulation to teachhigh performance and integrated design. Insight was gained on how to introducecomprehensive simulation tools into the design studio, how to integrate mechanicalengineering students more effectively into architectural courses, and how architects andengineers can work together around an energy model.2. IntroductionIn contemporary practice, two factors have a substantial impact on the way that wedesign buildings. The first, integrated design, is an old concept that has seen newpopularity in light of the need for deep energy savings in new and existing buildings. The second

In the mid-1990’s, she was part of a design-engineering team that produced a feasibility study for a campus biological solid waste and wastewater treatment facility at Cal Poly, and worked as a consultant with Sasaki and Associates on a Sustainability Master Plan for California State University, Monterey Bay. She participated in the Vital Signs Building Case Study Project throughout its 10-year lifespan. This NSF and Energy Foundation funded curriculum project set standards and provided

and best use” (p 6)8.Container Architecture7 by Jure Kotnik is one of the frequently cited sources of information inthis field. Originating from the 1950’s, today’s shipping container began its adventure intoarchitecture through exploratory makeshift sheds or shops while others were created as moresculptural, statement pieces. The surplus of these containers pushed its design and repurposingevolution to move quickly. Sending an empty container back to be reused costs $900 (p 16)7,therefore it is often more economical for companies to purchase a new one. The growingknowledge of this abundance problem has helped shape the re-use of these structures intobuildings. By 1990, for example, James Palibroda submitted a patent application with the
. William Braham5 places the establishment of discrete courses in structures forarchitecture students separate from studio as taking place in the 1940’s and 50’s. This impliesthat educators today were educated themselves in a curriculum that sequestered structures awayfrom the design studio.In the defense of the shift in design thinking, it is true that with an understanding of structuralconcepts, an architect may design a space without ever calculating a size. But, in reality, a spacedesigned without the ability to at least estimate component size will, in all likelihood, become avery different space once an engineer has finished the working drawings. Control of design isessential to the architect as is the ability to communicate with engineers
