CU Boulder ENVD Kohhaus Design Partnership

CU Boulder ENVD Kohhaus Design Partnership The design will begin with students gathering research on simple shelters: form, space, materials and site. It is not mandatory to enroll in both classes.

CU Environmental Design Students will partner with the Lama Foundation in Questa, New Mexico to assist in the design and construction of a simple and sustainable structure for three season use. Students will then spend 8 weeks of the semester designing a shower facility of approximately 100-150 square feet. In March, one project from the group of sixteen will be chosen to be built at the foundatio

n beginning in the spring and finishing in the summer. The studio will conclude with the development of construction documents, scheduling and cost estimates for the chosen design. Students will experience working with a client, designing within a budget, and gain a thorough understanding of sustainable design and development. This course will become a 5 week design/build studio over the summer with construction split into two phases: prototype construction in Boulder during the first week and a three week assembly at the Lama Foundation. Students can chose to participate in either the design studio or the build studio but enrollment in both spring and summer studios will provide the most enriching sequence.

And we're off! The group is headed down to Lama with our supplies and good spirits. A majority of us will be turning our phones off and focusing on the task at hand.

If you need to get ahold of anyone in the group you can contact the Lama Foundation watch phone number. This number is checked every hour or so and the message can be passed on to the specified person. The phone number is 575-586-1269. You can also contact our instructor Jade Polizzi as a back up to the other number. Her phone number is 303-247-0630.

We will be posting progress updates through out the trip so make sure to keep and eye out!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us to get us to this point and making our vision a reality.

Got the first of our recycled building materials today from Resource in Boulder thanks to Collin, Madigan + Logan! Previously red raspberry puree barrels, these babies are getting a new life as (maybe) hot water heaters, water tanks - or - who knows what else! Thanks for testing them out Shannon, Logan and Hannah! Photo by Ben Bell 2/11/16
