Three interdisciplinary Design Studies studio classes from Iowa State will work on projects with the Sioux City community at the Design West facility in spring 2008. 
  • The design/build studio will explore ways concrete might be used in a prototype camping cabin for South Sioux City, Neb.
  • A second studio will examine urban design and planning issues that challenge Sioux City and its surrounding metro region.
  • Working with local housing officials and potential clients, the third studio intends to study economic and social inequalities in the housing sector and to develop affordable housing concepts for Sioux City. 
All three classes will be based in Ames but will use Design West when in Sioux City for field research, charrettes and meetings.
