It felt good to be amongst designers again today, as it does any time I get to mingle. SDSU/DoArch is a lonely perch sometimes. I don't think you all consider the reality that we sometimes face here at your professors. Then a project comes along like this one, like the Rural Studio (which works in very remote parts of Alabama), where there are no codes or ordinances, just people--real people--who expect more than we can give then and who will be hypercritical in every way they see these things we do.
You have no idea how much this project can't even be done by architecture schools in metros.
There is so much bureaucracy. We've got a good project that will give this community a place to build civic sensibilities. Architecture is an art that only works when we agree to have some level of civic sensibility.
In every sense (except density, which can be a deal breaker) these are amazing sites.
