Architecture For Humanity Fellow On Site Now! |
We are thrilled to announce that our AFH Fellow Architect, Chris Harnish, has safely landed in Dennilton and already has news to share:
"Sunrise, from my front porch, across an open field that will soon be full of buildings, lit up the valley below and the mountains on the other side, and I knew everything was going to be great. Sunrises are good for that I guess."
Chris is writing a weekly photo blog to share his experiences while living on site for six months with Youth With A Vision. He'll be doing hands-on natural building and supervising the ongoing construction of the NextAid Youth With A Vision Community Center and Children's Residential Village.
Check in with Chris at the Architectural Record:
