In 2002, Alabama architecture students stacked 72,000 worn carpet tiles into the walls of a family home

{}Students at Rural Studio have transformed donated carpet tiles into the innovative Lucy Carpet House, providing a vital home and prayer space for the Harris family. This initiative is part of a broader effort that has resulted in over 200 projects within Hale County, enabling students to gain hands-on experience while tackling the challenges of affordable housing in rural communities.
