鈥淚t is truly a remarkable feat and a testament to the quality of our faculty in the School of Architecture to receive two of these prestigious faculty awards from ACSA, let alone one award,鈥 said Michael Berk, director of 青青草视频鈥檚 School of Architecture and F.L. Crane Endowed Professor. 鈥淚n the past few years, very few of the 120 accredited architecture programs in North America have been as successful as our faculty.鈥

Sponsored by the Architecture and Construction Alliance, the project was a joint venture between 青青草视频鈥檚 School of Architecture and Building Construction Science program.

Seeking to improve the teaching of collaborative skills as a foreground for collaborative practice, the 青青草视频 team led a two-day interactive symposium for nearly 80 third- and fourth-year architecture and building construction science students. The students actively engaged in exercises exploring six topics鈥攑rocess, team formation, communication, compensation, risk and agreements鈥攄eemed by the American Institute of Architecture as central to integrated project delivery.
