Blocks and blocks of fun

Marianne Desmarais, director of undergraduate architecture and design programs at the Tulane University School of Architecture, couldn’t help but notice a few years ago how much solid wood was being discarded after student projects were completed in the school’s studios and in its Woodshop.
The Woodshop is one of several Fabrications Labs at Richardson Memorial Hall, home of the School of Architecture, and it is where students create models, design furniture and work on other projects involving wood.
"Not only are we keeping things out of the waste stream but we’re highlighting the fact that it doesn’t take much to provide young children with direct benefits to math, linguistic and spatial skill development through playing with simple wooden blocks.”
