The Design Corps Summer Studio is an independent training center for community service that promotes and practices designing and building to meet local needs. The studio provides the benefits of quality design to communities through inspired built form, while training future architects in the methods of community visioning, organizing, and leadership.

Week One

Week one was a crash course in Asheville history and Livingston Street history. In a short amount of time, the studio has sought to understand the community context through articles, discussions, talking to neighborhood residents and bus patrons, and hikes off the Blue Ridge Parkway...

We've brainstormed and discussed bus shelter site possibilities. As the studio comes together, our collective goal is to not only provide seating and shelter from sun and rain, but from commmunity input, figure out where best we can help and how a bus shelter can enhance the area.
