Its been 10 days of sweat, bug bites and cockroach filled streets here in Greensboro, AL. This is truly one of the most rural towns that I’ve ever visited and it makes you wonder if anyone actually lives or wants to be here. The best way to describe it is how one of my fellow M’ers described this town (and many towns like Greensboro as a matter of fact) - “The life of this town is not in the buildings but its in the people.” Since being here we’ve discovered and seen some truly amazing things about this town but we’ve found that in order to discover these hidden gems you have to look just a little below the surface to find it. Hopefully with our time here we can share that shared experience to others.
As for our project, we’re considering establishing a design center whose goal is to identify the social needs of a community, to provide truly innovative solutions through design to make things happen and to educate designers that design can have a positive social impact on communities. So stay tuned, more to come as Project M literally heats up!
