Rooted in Place: Citizen Architect Documentary Chronicles Samuel Mockbee, FAIA, and the Rural Studio

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:27:43 GMT

Of all the accumulated, Deep South homespun wisdom Samuel Mockbee, FAIA, ever taught his students or contemporaries, perhaps the most important was this: “If it has moral merit, it deserves the title ‘architecture.’”

These words, spoken to Architectural Record in 2001, could be misconstrued as a toothless, idealized cliché until one truly examines the plain reality of most building done every day. Then it’s understood as a declaration (which could have been Mockbee’s epitaph—he died in 2001) that defines the window in time he and his Rural Studio at Auburn University re-established a moral agenda for architecture, looking both backward and forward to past ambitions and future aspirations for design. This window in time will be opened wide on August 23, when the documentary film Citizen Architect: Samuel Mockbee and the Spirit of the Rural Studio premieres on PBS.

Help Make Lawmakers Aware of the Continuing Credit Crisis

Wed, 19 May 2010 00:12:16 GMT

Today Baltimore architect Jim Determan, AIA, will testify before a key U.S. House committee about the credit crisis that has put thousands of building projects on hold and caused so many architects to lose their jobs.

Jim will tell the Financial Services Committee that getting banks to lend again must be Congress’ top priority as it tackles the economic crisis, and that architects are ready to drive the recovery – once projects get moving again. (You can read Jim’s testimony here.)

It’s a vitally important message that Jim will give to the lawmakers on the Committee – but we need your help in making sure that every member of the House and Senate hears it.
