The DESIGNhabitat program is an on-going partnership between Auburn's School of Architecture and the Alabama Association of Habitat Affiliates (AAHA). Begun in 2001, this partnership is focused on developing innovative design strategies for Habitat homes which are grounded in an understanding of culture and climate of Alabama.

 

DESIGNhabitat 2 will expand this program's exploration of alternative approaches to the design and construction of Habitat homes to include the incorporation of factory-based, modular construction technologies.

 

The proposal also seeks to broaden the dialogue within Habitat regarding energy performance and resource conservation, and to expose a new generation of students to the enriched learning experience that comes from the synthesis of service learning and design/build.
