Parsons | School of Constructed Environments | Design Workshop

Here's a video from PLAID's (Parsons School of Constructed Environments) Design Workshop program run by David Lewis of LTL.  I was interviewed last year specifically for my role in bringing in the program to help out Katrina-ravaged DeLisle, a small town in coastal Mississippi.  

A colleague of mine, Reese Campbell (now with his own firm METHODesign), and I volunteered to go down to the area days after the storm.  We cleared a site to set up a temporary clinic and distribution center, and went to work on the design and construction of a 10,000 sq.ft. community center.  After a ton of work we realized that it simply was not enough to get the town back on track, and in an effort to close this gap, I asked Parsons (I'm an alumnus) to use this great program to help.

The result was an incredible structure housing a laundry facility and information center for the community. Here's a flickr album of the project.
