Live Projects are also referred to as “Design Build Projects”, “Live Build Projects”, “Real Projects” and “Service Learning”, often connected with participatory, collaborative, inter-disciplinary, professional training, and construction/technology education. They are also a pedagogic means to extend the institutional confines of the design studio. Live Projects Network aims to promote the use of live projects in education, share best practice, encourage dialogue and also contribute to the establishment of a theoretical basis for the study of live projects.
Live Projects Network is an online resource to share practice and connect students, educators, clients, practitioners and researchers involved in live projects.
