Summary: We travel to western Alabama to the Rural Studio. Scattered across it are some 75 works of livable art — elegant, sustainable homes and public buildings in some of the poorest counties in the United States. They're the products of an architectural adventure. Here, architecture serves as a "social art" — and as a force for repairing the fabric of human community as well as the natural world.
