In this book, nine authors explore the DesignBuild learning method within the postcolonial context. Using concrete examples, the hands-on approach is critically examined and evaluated. There is a focus on the overseas engagements of European and US students, who actively apply their newly acquired knowledge in cultures unfamiliar to them. Additionally, projects by students from Latin America, Asia, and Africa are documented and analyzed, showcasing how they utilize this method as an experimental ground to challenge normative rules, which are often still influenced by colonization today.
