Biloxi Studio 2008

Six students from Mississippi State University and the University of Minnesota spent spring semester 2008 involved in three distinct courses: a planning studio, led by Christine Gaspar and joined by a graduate-level long-distance class at MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning; a residential design studio, including on-site construction days at Patty's house, led by David Perkes; and a seminar on ethics in design, which integrated the students with Design Studio staff.

Another group of students worked on the Bayou Auguste Planning Studio.
