As a part of the 5th Annual Gainesville Modern Weekend, join us for a screening of If You Build It.
This compelling documentary follows two young architects who implement a design-build curriculum in a rural North Carolina high school, changing the students and the community in the process.
A panel discussion about local implications and possibilities will follow the film.
