PurposeThis paper aims to investigate trends and themes within the literature pertaining to live projects, and in so doing, highlight possible areas of future exploration and research.Design/methodology/approachThis paper utilises a Systematic Quantitative Literature Review (SQLR) method, wherein keywords and phrases are entered into selected citation databases generating a reproducible list of literature. This is then refined using a specified list of criteria and read for relevance. The resulting literature forms the basis of qualitative and quantitative analyses and review.FindingsThe reviewed scholarship demonstrates a surge in publications since the early 2000s, with 75% of publications originating from the USA, Canada, or the UK Furthermore, themes related to live project definitions, outputs and rationales were examined, demonstrating that common factors such as “community”, “construction” and “pedagogy” are not mutually exclusive but tend to overlap, making the topic hard to define. These results also demonstrate a proclivity for projects with a built output. Barriers to live projects were also assessed, and it was found that administrative hurdles, such as time and budget constraints, were the biggest concern to live project practitioners. Finally, critical voices were examined and showed that live projects need to reflect on the nature of their engagement with the community.Research limitations/implicationsThis method, while capturing a substantial portion of the published scholarship, does not capture all live project literature due to limitations such as language and a strong focus on peer-reviewed publications. Furthermore, this research only captures literature that has been published. It does not reflect the variety and extent of live project activity occurring globally. For reasons such as unfamiliarity and inconsistencies with the use of live project terminologies, doubtless many unpublished live projects are conducted–yet not represented in these findings. This study may help live project execution by providing valuable examples of existing trends.Originality/valueThis paper captures the metadata from 110 live project publications, allowing for wide-ranging analysis, categorisation and discussion on the topic.

“…Some ethical interventions I have identified include the participation of a local, community-based non-profit organization to offer oversight, undertaking a portion of the meetings on the client's "home turf" meaning in the office of a local organization or at the dinner table of the family receiving the infrastructure, 16 and collaborations with local architecture firms and contractors so as to not create unfair competition with the professional community. 17 Additional perspectives stress the importance of flexibility and the ability to change course as a response to community dynamics 18 and placing an emphasis on addressing the precise housing challenges experienced in impoverished communities. 19 Ethical practices that arise more consistently across designbuild programs include strategies for community engagement, such as training in local cultures and histories, collaboration and participation with local community members, maintaining a presence in the community after the project completion, and effectively managing mistakes.…”

Considering the Ethics and Practices of Educational Design Build in Native American Societies: An Anthropologist’s Perspective

This paper represents a cultural anthropologist’s approach to examining architecture projects undertaken in NativeAmerican communities through the efforts of architectural university design-build programs to provide housing. I investigate how architectural faculty have employed ethics in their curricula and their students have interacted with Native communities while executing design-builds. I focus on the DesignBuildBLUFF program taking place in the Utah side of the Navajo Nation and the Native American Sustainable Housing Initiative that was active in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. This paper represents a point of departure for a broader research project that considers the cultural preparation and community engagement techniques utilized for interacting with and designing and building for Native Americans. A conclusion I draw from my data is that design-build studio instructors may incorporate strategies from the “first project” model practiced in the dissertation process in cultural anthropology into their studios to help manage ethical concerns with undertaking design-build programs inunderserved and underrepresented communities.

“…Although they acknowledge the significance and novelty of these two approaches compared to a traditional design studio teaching, Corser and Gore question the approaches' potential of offering a new alternative in practice-especially in terms of open-ended speculation for the first and being too reliant on individual student talents for the second. They propose an alternative and third approach, which they coin as "'guerrilla architecture,' defined as 'small-scale interventions in in the social and urban landscape'" and present a case study for New Orleans [19] (p. 32).…”

Pavilions in Architecture Studio—Assessment of Design-Build Approach in Architecture Education

Pavilion construction projects are an emergent paradigm in architecture education. Nevertheless, their efficiency has not yet been assessed in terms of their added contribution to learning experience and pedagogical outcomes. This paper reviews the development, challenges and learning outcomes of the ‘Element Pavilion’ projects for Year One undergraduate architecture students and offers a quantitative and qualitative assessment over their impact on learning. A systematic analysis on students’ perceived learning outcomes using psychometric evaluation is presented here for the first time. The paper introduces a hypothetical pavilion project pedagogy model (HPPP model) which can be used and developed further by architects and educators. Analysis results and the model identify four aspects that students perceive as critical factors in pavilion design-build learning experience: construction, design process, engagement and participation, and teamwork.
