＂This Architecture Brief is a vital tool for teaching and learning design/build education in architecture schools. Draws directly from the expertise of Jersey Devil, a group working into their
fifth decade who pioneered the movement and influenced a generation of practitioners and educators such as Rural Studio. Themes touch on socially responsible architecture, fostering
craftsmanship and collaboration, off-the-shelf components and nonstandard applications, educational reform, good life and play, and university-community relations. There are now over 100
design/build programs in schools of architecture throughout the USA, a threefold increase in the past twenty years. The members of Jersey Devil--Steve Badanes, Jim Adamson, and John
Ringel--continue to teach design/build in schools in Seattle, Vermont, and Miami. Their project locations include local work as well as schools in countries such as Finland, India, and Mexico.
