DAY 7

Sam Mockbee and the Rural Studio, Auburn

For the final day of Architecture week, I thought I’d ask: Are we making positive contributions to the community? Can our profession really make a difference?

I can’t think of a better place to look for an answer to that than the Rural Studio at Auburn University.

If architecture is going to nudge, cajole, and inspire a community to challenge the status quo into making responsible changes, it will take the subversive leadership of academics and practitioners who keep reminding students of the profession’s responsibilities. –  Samuel Mockbee
