Marie and Keith Zawistowski, principals of onSITE, co-teach "Designing Practice", a professional practice seminar encouraging students to ask fundamental questions about the nature of practice and the role of the architect in society. Students design and study “Practice Mock-Ups”, projecting themselves into virtual practice. Tied to this initiative, the Designing Practice Facebook page keeps an updated feed of the various subjects being discussed in the class.
