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 Two

The first round of design was this week - a quick, dirty, and individual exercise. [Ideas from the 1st pin up]

From there the studio went mobile and visited the greater Appalachian region - from Appalshop in Kentucky, to a retired coal miner (and longtime friend of two of our instructors) in Virginia.

Saturday was Neighborhood Housing Service's 'Neighborworks Weekend' in Shiloh and the Summer Studio was able to build and erect a tool shed for their garden. This year's students were able to tour the first bus shelter, have the satisfaction of doing some 'neck down' work in week two, and meet the community we worked with last year.

Hi Sister! Being a boring civil engineer, I don't have much to say except "Yay! Go Architects!" Hope to see you soon in my lovely city of Beaufort, SOUTH Carolina. We need some pretty bus shelters.
