What is Freedom by Design?
|
Freedom by Design™, the AIAS community service program in partnership with the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), uses the talents of architecture students to radically impact the lives of people in their community through modest design and construction solutions. The program embraces efforts to provide both design-build and engagement solutions to address 5 barriers:

Fall 2021 Project 1
DETROIT HISTORICAL CONSERVATION
LTU's AIAS Freedom by Design™ will be helping the Detroit Sound Conservancy to document, digitize, and renovate the historical Bluebird Inn!
The Detroit Sound Conservancy is an organization which seeks to preserve and catalog artifacts, places, and information pertaining to Detroit's rich musical history.
The Bluebird Inn is recognized as a local Historic District by the City of Detroit. For much of the 1900s, it was one of the most important musical hotspots in the city.
Students will gain valuable knowledge about Detroit's history, conservation efforts within the city, and work with cutting-edge tech.

Fall 2021 Project 2
3D PRINTED CONCRETE INFRASTRUCTURE
3D PRINTED CONCRETE INFRASTRUCTURE
LTU's AIAS Freedom by Design™ is teaming up with ModPublic™ + Citizens Robotics™ on digital fabrication through exploration.
ModPublic™ aims to create affordable housing opportunities in Detroit using robotic 3D printing.
Citizen Robotics™ is looking for volunteers to help them leverage their Concrete 3D Printer to design and create printed infrastructure within Detroit.
Students will learn basic and complex digital fabrication skills, as well have the opportunity to use a Concrete 3D Printer.
