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 Three

Still moving quickly, this week saw the completion of shop orientations and community context classes. Furthermore, an in-studio accomplishment was combining eight individual designs into three group collaborations. [Ideas from the 2nd pin up]

A neighborhood meeting was held on Tuesday, and although no one who attended the first meeting was able to make this second one, each resident we've met has been enthusiastic, inspiring, and insightful. We discovered that Livingston is a community with many assets. Beyond the close knit residents, the area has three parks, an arts community center (and many talented children), and many well established trees. It is a location convenient to downtown, Mission hospitals, five churches, a planned greenway, and more.

We anticipate having a meeting next Tuesday to present one design that responds to feedback we've received thus far and brings the favorable ideas forward.
