Remote 2016

It's not the journeys end, just a different path...

After many successful years, Remote Studio was suspended in the fall of 2015. Working with communities each year allowed Remote Studio to flourish in many ways while giving back through the wonderful pieces of architecture that students created during the design-build component of the program. I have had great experiences during Remote Studio, especially with the students, and made many life-long friends along the way. I am eternally grateful to all who have been a part of the vision of Remote Studio.

The work of Artemis Institute will continue with the mission of helping people come to understand the relationship between nature and culture. Please check back as we explore the next adventure and chart a new course.

Educational Experiences

Through the Remote Studio program three integrated courses occur four to five days of the week, and are appropriate for undergraduate or graduate students. Non-class days are developed relative to each student's interests. The immersion education course format involves design lessons, environmental studies, back country trips, and an on-site design/build experience that provide synthetic lessons from which to develop cultural and personal practices that protect and enrich the world in which we live.

Readings and Discussions

Readings and discussions cover environmental ethics, creative processes, and explorations of varied worldviews to develop a student's understanding of themselves and the world. The readings become springboards for broad discussions that support necessary communication skills that are more about listening and less about developing rational defenses.

Vessels

The creation of vessels provide each student the opportunity to explore and contemplate their sense of the world. Built from materials found in selected sites, vessels serve as temporary markers of an evolving relationship with the world.

Vessels are more than the construction of an idea, they are artifacts of an individual's response to culture. More Vessel Info >>

Backcountry Trips

Adventure provides immersive first-hand experiences, leisure provides time for personal reflection to interpret these experiences. The result of this reciprocal process is first-hand knowledge. A critical practice of this educational method occurs through the immersive experience of place and self in the backcountry and wilderness of the Yellowstone Eco-Region. More Backcountry Info >>

Design Build

Students employ place-based knowledge and experience gained over the semester, including appropriate material selection and sustainable design considerations in the design and construction of a project for a community client. Working as a group, students learn about the general professional requirements of the design process, budget, client relations, and a real construction timeline. More Design Build Info >>
