In the seemingly endless stream of press about DesignBuildBLUFF, it was mentioned again in an article about Rural Studio started by Sam Mockbee.

ARCHITECTURAL RECORD – After years of solving design problems for imaginary clients through conceptual means, recent graduates are often overwhelmed when faced with developing detailed construction drawings. University-based design-build programs, such as Samuel Mockbee’s Rural Studio, are changing that by providing practical construction experience for a good cause. Inspired by Mockbee’s efforts, University of Utah professor of architecture Hank Louis started DesignBuildBLUFF in 2000 in partnership with the College of Architecture + Planning program.
