Description: Thinking inside of, outside of and though the box can we rethink architecture as an agent of social change? Modernism failed at it, but it is time for another go? The students enacted a radical proposition: that architect as form-giver is irrelevant in some, no, many places. What we need to do is craft systems, methods, processes and details that enable not constrain. An open-source architecture repurposing shipping containers as distributed community medical facilities not imposed, but self-built and self-determined by people in response to their own needs this is a parametric design at on a sociopolitical plane.

Students: Emily Albright, Graham Boyd, Heather Brunell, Michael Collard, Christine DiLallo, John Davi, Ryan Hickey, Krysta Levandowski, Adam LoGiudice, Meredith Marks, Sam Olson, Carl Soderberg, Monzoor Tokhi, Stanislav Vinokur, Christopher Wolverton.
