An Architecture of Decency November 21, 2007

The beautiful work of the Rural Studio was featured on Public Radio's Speaking of Faith last week, they called it "An Architecture of Decency". Along with the program, the companion website is really worth checking out. It has photographs, slideshows, videos, uncut interviews, blogs from the production crew and host, as well as a very cool interactive map showing where all of the Rural Studio projects are located. They've really done a great job of capturing the tremendous spirit behind the Rural Studio.

"The mission of the Rural Studio is to enable each participating student to cross the threshold of misconceived opinions to create/design/build and to allow students to put their educational values to work as citizens of a community. The Rural Studio seeks solutions to the needs of the community within the community's own context, not from outside it. Abstract ideas based upon knowledge and study are transformed into workable solutions forged by real human contact, personal realization, and a gained appreciation for the culture."
