Academia gears itself to the larger purpose of collaborative communication, shared values and character, not merely technical training. This paper introduces and describes a newly created course that reaches across academic disciplines and initiates a start for making a difference by shedding light on practice and pitfalls among design and construction professionals. Paper discussion covers issues in the design, implementation and evaluation of this particular course and its collaborative process. The authors offer guidelines for ways to facilitate the process and make the collaboration successful for both disciplines as well as for the students. Interdisciplinary work in the construction industry at-large (Architecture and Construction Science in this case) needs to both intensify and expand the disciplines’ basic and unique disciplinary tools, techniques and technologies. The approach discussed in this article goes beyond other pedagogy models which merely adopt concepts or generalize affinities.
