“THE BUTTERFLY HOUSE” It’s INKTOBER, but it’s also ARCHINKTOBER and the Day 3 prompt was “Rural Studio.”! That’s the wonderful off-campus design-build program of the Auburn University Architecture School. The”Butterfly House” serves as a significant example of sustainable architecture. Done with a PENTEL “Tradio Stylo fountain pen with water-soluble ink in an 8” x 10” sketchbook. #LobstArtstudios @tom.brudzinski #dessinateur #artist #szkicownik zeichner #dessin #sketch #drawing #quicksketch #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #szkicownik #penteltradiostylo #inktober #inktober2025 #archinktober #archinktober2025 #archinktober 2025day3 #architecture #ruralstudio #butterflyhouse #auburnuniversity

Some background info about Patrick Braxton, Newbern Alabama, and how Mr. Braxton came to be in this situation. Some of the best reporting came from, you guessed it, Capital B News! (Btw you can follow them #OnHere: @capitalbnews.org)

Incidentally, architecture buffs may have heard of Auburn University's Rural Studio, an architecture program based on Samuel Mockbee's philosophy that everyone, rich or poor, deserves an inspiring home to live in? Well that program's students and resources designed and built the Newbern fire station. Which Patrick Braxton was also locked out of.
