Greensburg Cubed To Help Residents Rebuild City After Devastation

On May 4, 2007, a tornado struck the town of Greensburg, Kansas.  Yesterday, I posted about Studio 804, a design-build program at the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and how they are helping the residents of Greensburg rebuild after the tornado.  Add KSU to the list of schools helping out.  During this past spring, the graduate architectural design studio at Kansas State University will help to rebuild the city through a design-build project called G3:  Greensburg Cubed.  Greensburg Cubed will design and construct modules, 10'x10'x10' cubes, that highlight sustainable materials and demonstrate green construction methods to meet a community need.  Check out the video...I think the Book Nook and the Ice Cube are awesome designs and can picture them in parks and cities across the country.  If I could, I would put a Book Nook in my backyard!
