This project explores the benefits of deconstruction and reuse processes in the design, planning, and making of a 1,300sf outdoor classroom in partnership with the non-profit organization, Joppy Momma’s Farm. Located in one of Texas’ most intact Freedman’s communities founded in 1872, Joppy Momma’s mission is to disrupt the systemic social, physical, health, and economic challenges facing its community through regenerative agriculture. This project includes contextual research, farm master planning, community visioning, and the design and build of an office and outdoor classroom pavilion.
