Design-Model-Build: Leveraging a Library Remodeling Project to Engage Students and Promote Sustainability on Campus

摘要

Introduction Design-Model-Build is a collaborative project at the University of Utah between the Marriott Library's art and architecture librarian and a faculty member at the university's School of Architecture. The collaboration, which began in Fall 2014, provides architecture students with a hands-on learning experience while providing the library with innovative designs for an internal remodeling project. Working together with library clients, professional architects, fabricators, and landscape designers; the architecture students are exposed to every aspect of the planning, designing, and building process. Additionally, students have been continuously exposed to library resources including books, journals, design software, 3-d printing, and the library's new materials collection.
