About
Dirt Works Studio is an award-winning designbuild studio at the University of Kansas, directed by Associate Professor Chad Kraus. Through theory-laden tectonics and direct, hands-on engagement with places, materials, and communities, the studio strives to cultivate a heightened sensitivity to cultural and natural forces latent to the specific conditions of each project. The studio explores environmentally sustainable and experientially fertile materials, such as rammed earth, mass timber, and bamboo.
