This team of architecture and landscape architecture students worked with a local chapter of Engineers Without Borders on the design and construction prototyping of a more complete well project for Ullo, Ghana. Their innovations were functional (e.g., water is secured in a cistern to reduce access time), experiential (e.g., the water station includes places to rest, socialize, wash dishes, store containers, provide water run-off for animals), and financially viable (e.g., they used local materials and construction methods already present in the well construction).
The work was developed for DSN 546: Structures in Service, Design for Disaster Relief course by Luke Keeble, Joe Hiestand, and Shan He under the direction of Assoc. Professor Rob Whitehead.
