Imperative 20: Inspiration + Education

Curated Courses

The Kendeda Building is a multi-disciplinary, non-departmental education building. Rather than focus on one subject such as physics or ecology, the design team envisioned a building that welcomes the broadest cross section of students. The goal is to have as many students circulate through the building as possible so that they can be inspired by its regenerative design.  

The Kendeda Building's 24-person design studio and 16-person seminar room are reserved for courses that are selected by an academic committee. Theses two rooms are not managed by the Registrar's Office and afford a degree of flexibility and creativity in courses offered. Many courses taught in these spaces focus on the principles of the Living Building Challenge.
