After researching the various geographies encompassing Route 66, Practicum students selected a region along the highway in which to develop a roadside structure for a specific site.  The clients for this project were the residents, tourists, and enthusiasts that frequent Route 66.  Students reviewed the stories behind the historical boom and the modern nostalgia of the highway to identify the characteristics of Route 66 culture.  Students then created a building and developed a design solution that responded to these uniquely American cultural and geographic conditions.
