The Buildings of the Rural Studio Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - New Hall Exhibition: 06 March 2003 - 02 June 2003 Opening Hours: Daily 10:00am-7:00pm, Wed until 9:00pm Opening: Wednesday 5 March 2003, 7pm Samuel Mockbee (1944 - 2001) and Dennis K. Ruth founded the Rural Studio in Hale County, Alabama, 10 years ago in order to provide architecture students at Auburn University with the opportunity to realise demanding and sustainable architecture for social purposes as a part of their course of studies. Since then they have completed numerous single-family houses, community centres, churches and sports facilities using recycled and donated materials. The nature of the practical education it offers and the inherent accompanying sense of social responsibility it incorporates makes this very special architecture college exemplary of a new necessity in architecture. This is the first comprehensive exhibition in Europe to present the work of the Rural Studio. Opening address: On the exhibition: 10.03.2003/19.00 lecture about the exhibition Andrew Freear, Co-Direktor 'Rural Studio': ’Let’s talk dirty - the legacy of Samuel Mockbee’ Lecture in english Sponsors: |
