Traveling to Hale County, Ala., to see the Rural Studio's modest yet magical works of architecture in their home settings would be the ideal choice. A trip to the National Building Museum is the next best thing.
Opening today, the exhibition titled "Samuel Mockbee and the Rural Studio: Community Architecture" takes visitors on a quick if gratifying tour through interesting, and in some ways amazing, terrain.

"The original premise of the show was about how AVERAGE people on an AVERAGE budget could afford home ownership by buying a "fixer-upper" and doing much of the renovation work THEMSELVES. The show in recent years has jumped seriously as it became more and more about million dollar homes in Maui, factory tours, and Yuppie owners who do no more than agonize over which shade of solid marble countertop to install! I learned a lot about how to actually do home renovations MYSELF from the early episodes, and the knowledge has saved me considerable money! I learn nothing now from the show except crap like how doors, casement windows, and ceramic tile are manufactured! Real handy if I want to go into the building products manufacturing business!"
