To understand a people, study them where they live. Construct simplified model houses to consider the climates, resources, materials and traditions that define culture. Focus on a region. Focus on a historic area. Focus on a common pursuit like baking bread. Create façades of local architecture.

We construct stilt houses from the Rain Forest. Building connects the hands and minds of your students to the hands and minds of the world. Building connects your students.

No great architecture is built without the cooperation that builds community.
