Ghana Design/Build Studio 2010: Each summer Arch+ID students travel to Ghana for a service learning experience participating in design/build projects such as a house, a covered walkway leading into the rainforest and a village library. |
The Ghana program is associated with the Department of Architecture at the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi and with the Department of Home Science at the University of Ghana in Accra. |
Ghana Design/Build Studio 2012 The studio gives students the opportunity to affect a community through their efforts as aspiring architects and interior designers. Projects are driven by the needs of Abrafo-Odumase and respond to the feed back of the client before construction and during it. In 2012, 16 Miami students toured Ghana, designed and then with the help of ten Ghanaians, built a teacher's cottage to house two single teachers. |
This short video presents Miami University’s Over-the-Rhine Residency Program. Begun in Fall 2006, the Residecy Program engages Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati’s oldest and poorest neighborhood, predominantly of color, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the site of racial unrest just eleven years ago. Students from any major integrate a full academic load with a full-time living/working immersion in the “school of social life.”
Based upon our long-term relationship with the Over-the-Rhine People’s Movement, the Residency Program has evolved four practices—Design/Build,Agit-Props, Community Assistance, and Community Advocacy—to effect democratic, equitable development strategies for people on low incomes, workers, people of color, and families.
