FREEDOM BY DESIGN™ (FBD)
Freedom by Design™ (FBD) is a community service program of AIAS that uses the talents of architecture students to radically impact the lives of people in their community through modest design and construction solutions. The CMU chapter of AIAS has an FBD program that provides real-world experience through working with clients, learning from local licensed architects and contractors and experiencing the practical impacts of architecture and design.
