For the 9th year in a row, the Gibbs CoA has participated in the Dallas CASA Parade of Playhouses. The event features a series of imaginative playhouses raffled off to raise funds so that Dallas CASA can provide more volunteer advocates to help abused children live safely.

The College’s entry “Going Nuts” [pictured above] answers the question “How can architecture take us into another world?” from a childlike perspective, with a sense of wonder and fantasy.

The playhouse was designed and built this summer by OU alumni Billy Danna and Garrett Slezak and Creating_Making Lab staff Garrett Stowe.

Students! To be added to the wait-list for the Summer 2019 CASA playhouse design-build class, contact Angela Person (a@ou.edu ).
