Auburn University Rural Studio Thesis
NEWBERN LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD
Newbern, Alabama
Completed 2003

A new home for the Newbern Little League Baseball team was carved out of an unused pasture. This field was designed and constructed by four Auburn University Rural Studio students, two, who would later continue working together to form the office Regarding Architecture. Sourcing local materials and practices, such as the excavation of catfish ponds, harvesting nets, steel fabrication and cardboard bales, the project team was able to give a very lovable group of young individuals a place to ignite their dreams.     www.ruralstudio.com

Auburn University Rural Studio Exhibit
COL-LEGI d’ARQUITECTES de CATALUNYA
Barcelona, Spain
June 2003

The Col∙legi d’ Arquitectes de Catalunya (COAC) is a specialized entity of architects and similar professionals. Its Barcelona location is housed in a building wrapped in famous Joan Miró murals and faces La Catedral de Barcelona. This exhibit occupied its lower gallery space along a main square and was draped from the inside with local shipping pallets; typical of the Rural Studio’s willingness to reuse materials in creative ways. www.coac.es
