Synopsis
The late architect Samuel Mockbee started the Rural Studio, a design/build architecture program, in which students create charity architecture for impoverished communities in rural Alabama. Here, we observe how a group of students use their creativity and compassion to craft a home for their charismatic, destitute client, Jimmie Lee Matthews. But, the Rural Studio is about more than building. It is also about providing students with an experience that forever inspires them to use their skills to better their communities.
