Project 1 - a writer's cabin at Yellow Bird

The first project of the semester will be the design of a writer's cabin at Yellow Bird, a retreat and sculpture park in Middle Tennessee that is run by David Wood, a philosophy professor at Vanderbilt University. Executed in two-person teams this off-the-grid project will focus on environmental response strategies, construction techniques, and the incorporation of technical systems as an integral component of your design work.
