Book Description
Founded in 1995 by Dan Rockhill, Studio 804 is a non-profit organisation and a full-year design studio for graduates that finds its momentum at the intersection of contemporary architecture's most topical concerns: sustainability, affordability and education. Based out of the Department of Architecture at the University of Kansas, Studio 804 operates in annual bursts of collective effort. With an ever-changing roster of final-year graduate students, the studio has produced 21 projects to date, including nine LEED Platinum level houses and three Passive House certified projects. These projects have gone on to become homes and schools: spaces for both private and communal use and engagement; spaces for leisure and for learning. In addition to addressing mounting concerns of sustainability and innovative design in the era of the Anthropocene, Studio 804 addresses a separate but parallel crisis in architecture: the paucity of material engagement in architectural education.Studio 804 dismantles the boundaries of the ivory tower by allowing students to experience first-hand and collaboratively the various bureaucratic, institutional and community bodies that coalesce to form the architecture that frames our everyday lives. Studio 804 recounts the mission of Studio 804: to offer students of architecture a comprehensive and sincere engagement with building that is both communal and physical, institutional and everyday. From the early days of first sketches to the immersive education of material making, this book offers an engaging first-person account of the history and legacy of Studio 804, as told by Dan Rockhill. Project by project, Rockhill describes the way Studio 804 came to be managed and details the achievements to date of its experiential programme, the first of its kind worlwide. In the end, this is not just a book about an innovative educational model, but a manifesto for the importance of communal and sustainable architecture.

Book Description
Designbuild Education adopts the intellectual framework of American Pragmatism, which is a theory of action, to investigate architects’ compelling urge to build and how that manifests in collegiate designbuild programs. Organized into four themes—people, poetics, process, and practice—the book brings together new essays by some of today’s most well-known designbuild educators, including Andrew Freear from Rural Studio and Dan Rockhill from Studio 804, to shed light on the theoretical dimensions of their practice and work. Illustrated with over 100 black and white images.

Book Description
This book explores the connection between digital fabrication and the design build studio in both academic and professional studios. The book presents 17 essays and cases studies from well-known scholars and practitioners, including Kengo Kuma, Joseph Choma, Dan Rockhill, Keith Zawistowski, and Marie Zawistowski, whose theoretical and practical work addresses design build at various levels. Four introductory essays trace the history of the design build movement, exploring the emergence of design build in the pedagogy of the Bauhaus, the integration of technology into architectural design, and the influence of the act of making on the design build studio. The rest of the book is divided into two parts; the first part looks at traditional pedagogical models for the design build studio, and the second part focuses on experimental methods used in design build programs. Together, these works discuss human behavior, social-cultural trends, and motivations in socially minded studios which are based on a service-learning model. They look at component-based studios where innovation allows for an increased level of research and testing of new materials and assemblies, sustainable principles, and zero-energy prototypes. Illustrated with over 200 color images, this book will be a valuable resource for architecture students, educators, and practitioners seeking to explore the impact of digital fabrication on the global design build movement.

Book Description
A home of one’s own has always been a cornerstone of the American dream, fulfilling like nothing else the desire for comfort, financial security, independence, and with a little luck, even a touch of distinctive character, or even beauty. But what we have come to regard as almost a national birthright has recently begun to elude more and more prospective homebuyers. Where housing is concerned, affordable and well-crafted rarely exist together. Or do they? For years, founding editor-in-chief of Dwell magazine and noted architecture and design critic Karrie Jacobs had been confronting this question both professionally and personally. Finally, she decided to see for herself whether it was possible to build the home of her own dreams for a reasonable sum. The Perfect $100,000 House is the story of that quest, a search that takes her from a two-week crash course in housebuilding in Vermont to a road trip of some 14,000 miles. In the course of her journey Jacobs encounters a group of intrepid and visionary architects and builders working to revolutionize the way Americans thinks about homes, about construction techniques, and about the very idea of community. By her trip’s end Jacobs, has not only had a practical and sobering education in the economics, aesthetics, and politics of homebuilding, but has been spurred to challenge her own deeply held beliefs about what constitutes an ideal home. The Perfect $100,000 House is a compelling and inspiring demonstration that we can live in homes that are sensible, modest, and beautiful.
