This can be used to introduce the project and goals to prospective supporters. You will include language that briefly expresses your interest and intention for the material or other support. Let me know if you have any questions.
This project will transform shipping containers into individually focused mobile design/action centers. One will be focused on Food and Farming in the City, Urban Horticulture. One will be focused on Street Life in the City, Intermodal Urbanism. With our limited time and funds, these first two are our top priority. A third, possibly later conversion, will be focused on Water and the City, Hydro-generated Urbanism.
The projects will be completed in late April. At this time the containers will be positioned in Orlando neighborhoods and put to use. The Urban Horticulture container may have its first home as part of a community gardening project in downtown Orlando. The Intermodal Urbanism container may have its first home as part of a bicycle/pedestrian trail system in downtown Orlando. (*Locations may change as necessary but the community focused impact will remain.) The portability of the units means that their impact will be multiplied through be locations in future areas of need.
We seek your support.

Project Goals
In a sentence, the goal of this design studio is to give students the opportunity to be socially engaged in their community, while learning first-hand about an innovative and sustainable construction unit, the upcycled shipping container, in the context of their pursuit of professional degree credit.
The design will be undertaken under the guidance of Stephen Bender, a Florida licensed architect specializing in shipping container architecture and Adjunct Assistant Professor. The construction will be undertaken primarily by the students under his guidance with assistance and support of local contractors and suppliers. We have a location to do the construction nearby to our facility. We seek ways to impact communities using shipping containers. These projects will set the stage for later, larger developments by introducing people to containers up close in the context of their everyday lives. This first project intends to offer assistance to the community that Citylab resides in, neighborhoods in downtown Orlando.
