[edit] Focus
Teaching students about architects' ethical and social responsibilities. Enable architecture students to spend time with and interview impoverished residents of Perry and Hale counties in Alabama, in order to create, design, and build projects that satisfy community needs and draw on rural vernacular of the Deep South. Incorporate salvaged, recycled, donated, and/or recovered materials into simple, economical projects.
