It all started for Jan Wampler ’63 AR with “very little money, a bunch of egg-salad sandwiches, and a terrible car.” Jan, an acclaimed MIT professor, was reminiscing about his RISD senior thesis project – designing houses for struggling boat builders in Nova Scotia – in this recent Boston Globe interview, and how the project led him towards an egalitarian approach to the field of architecture. Since then, Jan has helped to build affordable homes, schools, orphanages and community centers in far-flung places. His latest project, part of an international workshop he teaches at MIT, is a collaboration with the people of Arcahaie, Haiti to build a sustainable village that will include a school, gardens, centers for the arts, health and community, dorms and a cafeteria.
