“An architecture internship model called DRIP (Design Research Internship Project) was created for UofT’s Daniels Faculty’s Architectural Studies Program by Pina Petricone, associate professor of architecture at the Daniels Faculty and principal of Giannone Petricone Architects in Toronto. A new architecture internship model for experiential learning called DRIP (Design Research Internship Project), created for UofT’s Daniels Faculty’s Architectural Studies Program, is expanding with the help of a LEAF impact grant.
The model, created by Pina Petricone, associate professor of architecture at the Daniels Faculty and principal of Giannone Petricone Architects in Toronto, is on its third cycle with almost 20 Toronto architecture firms participating. Established in 2022, DRIP aims to explore models of design research in both academic and professional practice. DRIP is a unique curricular initiative in the Daniels Faculty’s Architectural Studies program, and was designed to provide high-impact teaching for senior undergraduate students.”
