Project Recap

The Project

The DESIGNhabitat project is the result of collaboration between the College of Architecture, Design & Construction at Auburn University, DesignAlabama, and the Alabama Association of Habitat Affiliates (AAHA). Begun in the summer of 2001, this partnership was initiated by DesignAlabama as a means to bring together the resources and expertise of Auburn University with Habitat for Humanity, perhaps most significant “builder/developer” of affordable housing in Alabama, to see if Habitat homes could be made “better”.

We invite you to explore the site to learn more about the project.  The different aspects of the DESIGN Habitat are below.
