Architecture Live Projects provides a persuasive, evidence-based advocacy for moving a particular kind of architectural learning, known as Live Projects, towards a holistic integration into current and future architectural curricula.

Live Projects are work completed in the borderlands between architectural education and built environment practice; they include design/build work, community-based design, urban advocacy consulting and a host of other forms and models described by the book's international group of authors. Because of their position, Live Projects as vehicle for simultaneously providing teaching and service has the potential to recalibrate the contesting claims that both academia and profession make to architecture.

This collection of essays and case studies consolidates current discussions on theory and learning ambitions, academic best practices, negotiation with licensure and accreditation, and considerations of architectural integrity. It is an invaluable resource to current and future Live Projects advocates - whether they aim to move from pedagogy into practice or practice into pedagogy.

Industry Reviews

'In this collection Live Projects are situated not as marginal activities that are nice to do, but as central to the reformulation of the values and methods of mainstream architectural education. At a time when the orthodoxies of professional education are being questioned, the essays here provide very useful pointers towards new ways of thinking, working and behaving.' - Professor Jeremy Till, Head of Central Saint Martins, Pro Vice-Chancellor, University of the Arts London
