Check out this photo set from Samuel Mockbee’s Rural Studio in Mason’s Bend, Alabama.
All of these projects were designed and built by college students under the supervision of Mockbee until his untimely death in late 2001 succumbing to leukemia. I was fortunate to hear him lecture before his passing, and he was quite a dynamic character. With the passing of Sambo, the profession of architecture lost a great moral compass.
