The blog will involve research and the presentation of materials in several formats addressing issues related to a forthcoming 282 Architecture Design Studio (in Spring). The studio will design accommodation for the PSU Social Practice Master of Fine Arts program.

Supershed and Pods - Rural Studio
























This series of pods contained under one shed roof was the living/study complex for the Rural Studio (Auburn University - Samuel Mockbee). The buildings are assemblages of found/donated/inexpensive materials. The students designed and built the structures including the shed roof which was supported by hefty timbers from a former railroad trestle. The last picture is of a house where the walls were created with large bales of shredded, corrugated cardboard waste.
