Service Learning in Architecture

Thanks to everyone who contacted me regarding service learning in 
architecture.  As promised the following is a summary of the information I 
received from the list serve.  If you have additional information, 
suggestions or questions feel free to drop me an email at rmichal535@cs.com.

***************
Check out Syracuse's great S-L program.  It's centered in 
Architecture but is multi-disciplinary.

***************
We have had an ongoing, introductory course in Architecture (except for the 
past year when the faculty member received a new appointment) that always 
carried a service-learning component. However, the focus was a bit different 
than what you specifically requested. It addressed civic engagement and 
activism, allowing the voice of the inhabitants of the area to be part of 
their built environment.

****************
Awesome model is Kenneth Reardon who used to be faculty at University of 
Illinois- I think it was called the East St. Louis Project....they have a web 
site somewhere...

****************
Campus Compact has a syllabi project that may help identify 
institutions.  There are a few examples of college/universities 
incorporating service-learning into architecture courses.  Click on

I would suggest you look at the Arts of Citizenship program at the 
University of Michigan.  Their website is 
http://www.artsofcitizenship.umich.edu/.

That is everything that I have received to date.  If you are interested, I 
would recommend looking through the service learning archives.  Per my 
original posting I found that Dean Pribbenow of the University of 
Wisconsin-Milwaukee had posted a similar request regarding service learning 
in architecture.  He posted his results on September 22, 1999.  As a result 
of his posting and my research to date, I think we will be focusing our case 
study research on three architecture service learning studio programs:  1) 
Auburn's Rural Studio, 2) Sutdio 804 at the University of Kansas, and 3) 
Yale's Building Project (first year graduate studio).

Thanks again,
