"As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness." --Henry David Thoreau
The Rural Studio
The Rural Studio is an architecture program started by Samuel Mockbee that sends students to design homes in some of the most poverty-stricken rural backroads of Alabama. Students learn to listen to the needs of the community and develop design solutions with materials and labor from within the community. Their work is elegantly simple, inspiring and reflects the dignity that resides in every human heart.
