Abstract

This paper looks at how collaboration can help prepare architectural students to work effectively in a global society. A literature review, combined with the author’s experience developing and teaching an international design-build course, informs this work. There are three dominate themes in this paper: mutually beneficial partnerships, meaningful relationships and opportunities for reflection.
