Andrew, originally from Yorkshire, moved to Alabama five years ago and now lives in the small rural community of Newbern, West Alabama, where he is co-director of the Rural Studio (continuing in the footsteps of his predecessor, Samuel Mockbee) and thesis project advisor to fifth-year undergraduate students and their building projects.
In this lecture, Andrew will discuss the focus of the students' thesis year - a community-based project and sustainable materials research. Previous projects have included: a house of corrugated board, a Baptist church, a headquarter building for the Rural Heritage Foundation and the exploration of architecture as rural health through a series of small maintenance projects.
