ARCH 517 - Collaborative Revitalization Studio

The Collaborative Revitalization Studio focuses on the revitalization and adaptation of existing buildings and landscapes through a collaborative process involving students and faculty primarily from Architecture and Preservation backgrounds, but often from additional fields of study and practice. The studio annually engages a range of topics involving compelling sites with notable revitalization and adaptation potentials. These may range from historic structures and sites, urban areas in transition, architecture and landscape integrations, as well as adaptive reuse and transformation of function/form. The studio is offered from a perspective where individuals from multiple backgrounds working collaboratively on team-taught and team-developed projects is an idealistic as well as theoretically compelling approach that promotes the development of a collaborative practice paradigm for Architecture, Preservation Practices, and related fields.
