The Architecture of Decency is the trans-
formation of a story told on the podcast On
Being. The episode tells the story of a sus-
tainable community architecture project in
rural Alabama, U.S. Photos were collected
from photo archives of the Rural Studio. The
story is told by both residents and architec-
tural designers, and the book visually
explores the intersection of perception of
the projects. This story was integral to my
investigation into architecture as a form of
bene cial service to others.
