Abstract

This paper introduces an alternative pedagogical method for teaching building technology that I developed for an undergraduate architecture elective called "Construction and Design." I have taught this course for five years at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and its hallmarks are its incorporation of political economic critique and focus on technical know-how that even beginning students can readily apply.
