Hello all.
The Mineral Point Press is pleased to announce a special speaking
engagement at the historic Mineral Point Opera House in Mineral Point,
Wisconsin, Saturday, June 7, 2008, from 2-4. Professor Jason Coomes of
Rural Studio, based in Newbern, Alabama, will hold a lecture and Q & A
session on the legacy of Samuel Mockbee and an Architecture of Decency.
The Rural Studio is a design and build architecture studio run by Auburn
University which teaches its students about the social responsibilities
of the profession of architecture while also providing safe,
well-constructed and inspirational homes and buildings. The studio was
founded in 1993 by architects Samuel Mockbee and D. K. Ruth.
Enclosed is a two-page PDF including event poster, additional
information about Rural Studio and Professor Jason Coomes, and an
