Anthony Gibbs

















I am a 21-year-old senior architecture student from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I joined this class for several reasons. First and foremost, I have never been a part of a design-build project, so this class is a perfect opportunity to gain that experience. Also, dismantling a building piece by piece would give me the chance to see how the structure of the building is laid out. I have not learned structures yet, so the exposure will be a good jump for next year. My second reason for joining the studio is I prefer working outdoors, and it is hard, honest work. The last reason for my enrollment was the fact this class counts for studio credits. Any architecture student would tell you how amazing it would be for them to not have studio for a semester.

Sarah Buffaloe


I'm currently in the Masters of Sustainable Design (MSSD) program at Catholic University. I also work at the U.S. Green Building Council on the LEED team specializing in Materials and Resources. I have a bachelor's of Architecture form Syracuse University. I've lived in Washington DC for 5 years but originally hail from Colorado. I joined this project to learn about historic buildings, to build, engage a community, and just get dirty.
