This handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to the design and build philosophy pioneered by Jersey Devil, a collective founded in 1972. The book delves into the unique approach of integrating architectural design with practical construction, emphasizing the architect's role on the job site as well as at the drawing board. It explores themes such as socially responsible architecture, intuition, craftsmanship, collaboration, and the politics of building, offering insights into the group's process and expertise.
The manual is designed to equip students, teachers, and practitioners with a toolkit for design/build education and practice. It presents a blend of practical instruction, philosophical perspective, and sample exercises. By unpacking Jersey Devil's methods and experiences, this handbook aims to provide valuable guidance for navigating the complexities of design/build projects, fostering a deeper understanding of the discipline and its diverse applications.
Steve Badanes, Jim Adamson, and John Ringel believe an architect's job does not stop at designing a building, but that it extends to constructing it as well. Now working into their fifth decade, Jersey Devil, the loose-knit group they founded in 1972, bands together under this design/build ethos that an architect's place is just as much on the job site as it is at the drawing board. The trio pioneered design/build practice and their influence has spawned more than one hundred design/build programs.
Jersey Devil's process and expertise are unpacked in this Architecture Brief, providing students and teachers with a toolkit for design/build education. Through stories, didactic commentary, and sample exercises, the Design/Build complements nuts-and-bolts content with Jersey Devil's philosophy and perspective, allowing the book to impart practical instruction while acting as a valuable guide for navigating the elusive challenges of design/build. Themes touch on socially responsible architecture, intuition and intentionality, detailing and fostering craftsmanship, group work and collaboration, off-the-shelf components and nonstandard applications, educational reform, ethos and risk, good life and play, the politics of building, and university-community relations.
