Citizen Architect Airs Tonight

By — Filed under: Architecture News ,Videos , , , ,
 

This evening at 10 PM ET/9 PM CT, PBS will be broadcasting a 60 minute documentary of the late architect, Samuel Mockbee, and his design/build education program, .  Deep in the heart of one of ’s poorest areas, Mockbee’s students choose specific families as clients and work together to create their dream residences, community centers or prayer spaces.   The students physically construct these spaces from simple materials, yet their innovative strategies and pure passion for design results in striking pieces of architecture.  This inspiring documentary makes a strong statement about architects and the profession – showing a new perspective on who we should be designing for and how we should be designing.   As our world is experiencing hardship after hardship, from earthquakes to monsoon floods, the video brings to light our responsibilities to use our talents to help each other.  Be sure to check it out tonight – it won’t disappoint.
