Instructor

• May 2016 - Jul 2016

David developed and taught a six-week summer immersion studio for Washington State University graduate students in the fields of urban design, architecture, and construction. The course was co-taught with Alicia Daniels Uhlig, the Living Community Challenge and Policy Director at the Living Future Institute.The 2016 studio investigated the practical mechanics of city-making in Seattle's University District - amidst a wholesale legislative rezone, unprecedented regional population growth, and using the most stringent sustainability frameworks in practice, the Living Building Challenge. The goal was to allow students to explore, discover, and test the links between urban planning, zoning, and land use theory and the nuts and bolts realities of delivering deeply sustainable and equitable housing typologies in today’s real estate and construction market.
