The day was spent touring around small towns in Alabama to see projects done by Auburn University's Rural Studio. We looked at a lot of interesting projects, and visited the rural studio office in Newbern. Here there are a series of pods that were designed and built by students for students to live in while they worked on other projects, as the university is not nearby. The cabins are used as test materials, and are each unique.
We also looked at two lamella structures that incorporated more rectilinear enclosures. The first had a building within the lamella, while the second had one side of the lamella raised up to sit on the building.
