description: The integration of other construction-based disciplines early in an architect’s education through hands-on learning will influence the practice to create a more cohesive and efficient design process and facilitate communication between fields. The knowledge of how to build has become secondary in design education forcing designers to face unnecessary hurdles once practicing. An interdisciplinaryeducational model based around making allows designers to gain real world interaction and be exposed to varying ideologies and problem solving skills. While architecture students are learning how to design, they are also learning from peers in disciplines such as Construction Management and Civil Engineering as a way to reach outside of architecture to come up with new solutions and to better take on the role of master communicators.
