Commensalism is a biological relationship between two organisms in which one benefits while the other derives neither a benefit nor harm. In the School of Design and Construction here at Washington State University creating any relationship amongst the different design disciplines is challenging at the very least. As students, we are expected to become masters of our own curriculum, but when it comes to the educational program of design, we are also expected to share knowledge with our cousin disciplines so that we can all work in harmony in the real world. As technologies and building practices have further developed we have begun to see this ideology become a greater necessity as miscommunications between designers and builders have created surmountable complications in the design process. We believe the origin of these obstacles can be attributed to our academic backgrounds. Though we go to the same schools, learn our respective responsibilities, and begin to prepare for the legitimate practice; we never truly learn how to work together. Much of this lack of communication can be attributed to the traditional academic architecture practiced amongst colleges and ivy league universities world wide. Our goal in this project was to innovate this narrative and create both a physical and psychologically alternative to the educational practice of design. We set out to create a commensalism between design disciplines and the academic system.
