Another program that (red)rocks...

In my search for other programs out there that involve service learning similar to what the Rural Studio does, I came across DesignBuildBLUFF. Inspired by the Rural Studio, the DesignBuildBLUFF program is affilfiated with the University of Utah College of Architecture. Their mission statement flies the headline, "Engaging minds, calloused hands and open hearts," and it concludes, "Ultimately, DesignBuildBLUFF will not construct buildings as much as it will create unbounding joy." In the following clip, the program's founder, Hank Louis, indicates that in making one family happy, a hundred others become upset. When you see their work, you can understand why all families would like to benefit. I hope they find a way to keep bringing the "unbounded joy." Check out the video from Park City Television, visit the website, read the project blog and enjoy the scenery while you're at it...
