Spring, 2003 > Guest Instructor at Oberlin College > Dr. David Orr, head of the Environmental Studies Department at Oberlin College and distinguished environmental author, invited Mark Hoberecht & Chris Fox of HarvestBuild to be guest instructors for his Ecological Design Seminar class. The class project was the design of a small multi-purpose building at the George Jones Memorial Farm. We lectured on housing, vernacular design, and natural building techniques. We also reviewed student designs throughout the semester, and guided the construction process.
