Interest post today by the Itinerant Urbanist. While in New Haven to Speak at Yale, she was give a tour of the most recent low-income home designed and built by the ivy league universities architecture students:
Most interesting in the post was this deduction at the end: “The gentleness of this interaction between this house and its surroundings reinforces my feeling that there’s something about the university design build programs, like Yale’s, in which students build real homes for real people, that inoculates the fledgling architects against the profession’s legendary arrogance.”
