My reaction to the film ”Citizen Architect and the spirit of the rural studio” by Samuel Mockbee is that he tried to establish to the audience and to all architects that when it comes to using our skills set to benefit the greater society at large. It was hard to get it at first but watching it several times made me understand. It shows how a group of students use their creativity, ingenuity, and compassion to craft a home for Jimmie Lee. The film reveals that the Rural Studio is about more than architecture and building. And what's really interesting is that every person who talked gave their perspective of what is an architecture or what it means to them. Also what really opened my eyes to being an architect is that architecture's role in issues such as poverty, class, race, education, social change, and citizenship many architects said in this dialogue. Caring about social change and citizenship I used to have in mind when the word architect was mentioned it was an extraordinary career. A person who was highly valued and people nowadays are understanding and this film makes us understand that architects do get their hands dirty. Because it's not only the career and profession they choose to do, but they love what they do. Getting dirty will show upcoming architects the boundaries of material and necessities. Also, they benefit from the experience and it's true because Mockbee's effort was to provide students with an experience that forever inspires them to consider how they can use their skills to better their communities. Using the philosophy and heart behind the Rural Studio. For example Sabo's architect inspired people of course by his talent but more because he tried to make the world a better place with his talent, creativity, and compassion. But more than that if you don't love what you do you won't care about helping your community. It might sound cheesy but it's true. And this film helps us to know the image of a good architect and a bad architect. They are bad architects in the world that just by probably having a degree, major, or good grades makes them more valuable or better than the ones that actually get dirty. But it's obvious….. The one who gets their hands dirty is the one who cares and loves what they do and cherishes their community. And that is what makes you an inspiration to your community and the world just like Sabo’s. Their film articulates a commitment to place and pedagogy as ways to an ethical architecture, engaging varied voices to bring a new generation of students and teachers closer to Hale Country and it's pretty simple. I love watching these films because it opens your mind to think bigger of architects. It's not that simple to just say I'm an architect and I build. It's more than that and this film said it. Not only shows humanity, and discipline but to be good such as if it's a different career but to be good. We need good architects everywhere. Above all else, this film offers a dialogue about what it means to be both a successful professional and a responsible member of society.
