Center for Understanding the Built Environment
Summary
The overall goal of CUBE, a non-profit, is to help children and adults to understand and value the built environment, to think critically about development and design, and to participate and act responsibly in their communities.
Organization Description
The Center for Understanding the Built Environment (CUBE) specializes in community-based education workshops that bring together educators, kids and community partners to effect change. Using simple materials and examples from the local community, CUBE designs “architivities,” or community-based education activities. These activities enable educators and planners to help teach students and adults about architecture, community planning, preservation, and participation. Aside from education, CUBE ensures that architivities link to community outreach programs to reinforce and spread the curriculum. CUBE also undertakes research in support of these issues, publishes reports, lesson plans, and curriculum guides, offers workshop facilitation skills, and shares information at national conferences.
One example of a CUBE program is Box City. The Box City curriculum allows groups to create their own cities from boxes and other household materials, which teaches “how cities are planned, or unplanned; what makes a quality city, and how citizens (yes, kids too!) can participate in the improvement of the built environment.” Box City utilizes cardboard, scissors, glue and string, which allows people to relax, have fun, and consider planning in a very different frame of mind. Many other CUBE activities involve role playing, art, storytelling, and physically exploring a city or town.

First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a
quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
suggestions or tips? Kudos!

seeing very good success. If you know of any please share.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and all. However just imagine if you added some
great images or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and videos,
this website could undeniably be one of the very best in its niche.
Terrific blog!

issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, very good blog!
