“Project by project I share the way we operate. There are examples of how the students approach the work, the methods of design and design development and the day to day engagement with the various institutional and community bodies that can often make or break a project. It is not just a book about design, or an educational model, it is also a book about the hard work and determination it takes for anyone to produce architecture that not only teaches but inspires students as well as the public.”

Founded in 1995 by Dan Rockhill, Studio 804 is a non-profit organization 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. The studio has produced 23 projects to date, including 10 LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum level buildings and 3 Passive House certified projects. These projects support a rich mix of uses: spaces for both private and communal use and engagement; spaces for leisure and for learning.
