Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Michael Zaretsky

This paper proposes that one can engage students in culturally-relevant, educational, inspirational Design/Build by embracing material and construction conditions that radically differ from our own. Using design research and culturally-informed material mock-ups, students can learn from and design with communities that they may never actually visit.
