Sustainable Architecture - Design/Build Practicum




"Yestermorrow meets Rural Studio"


Sustainable. Holistic. Innovative. Beautiful.

A vision for a better way of thinking about design.



Envisioned as a Start to Finish Design/Build Practicum the program is intended for design professionals, skilled artists, laborers, and builders, as well as anyone looking to enhance their holistic design & building knowledge and skills.

This sustainable building and design program is envisioned as a 4 month team project, comprised of between 3 and 6 interns and several key staff. The practicum is set up in 3 segments.

Applications will be accepted through May 2010.
Program begins on 6.20.10.





Development segment: Designed to enhance the capacity for team members to develop appropriate design, this stage focuses on the development of an understanding of ecovillage culture, Dancing Rabbit community, and of the site as well as an experiential learning intensive in sustainable practices and building techniques.

Design segment: Applying lessons learned during the development segment, the team will develop a comprehensive sustainable building design plan using local, natural, and reclaimed materials on hand.
Built segment: Applying design principles in practice, this segment is marked by the practical and tangible manifestation of the team's design segment through the construction of the natural building.
