We visitied an exhibition about the work of Samabo Mockbee. Mockbee was a famous architect professor who worked with scrap materials to build accomodation for the very poor in rural alabama. His class called the rural studio has developed into a leading attraction for the architecture programme at Auburn and is an inspiration for all interested in sustainability and affordability in architecure.
At a reception hosted by Dean Bennett we were all presented with books about the rural studio.
