Rural Studio
Rural Studio is another organization, quite different from Habitat for Humanity, but one that shares similar ideas with Postopia. It is supported by Auburn University (or to be more specific, it is under the umbrella of Auburn University). Rural Studio was created by Samuel Mockbee, a teacher and an architect who works at Auburn University in the United States (Ref: see Rural Studio website on Mockbee). Its mission is to create, design and build houses for communities that desperately need help, and through this students can put in practice their educational knowledge. Rural Studio has won many awards between 1995 and 2007, and the fact that such an organization exists, has proved to me that there is market for socially responsible kinds of program. The world does need constant help.
