Bob Estrin is an architect, builder, teacher and life long student. In 2020, he founded the School of Constructive Arts (SCA), a laboratory for the experimental study of holistic, healthy, and affordable methods of building and living in dry lands environments. SCA seeks to integrate ancient approaches with modern technology to derive new models for the current ecological, social, and housing crises. The son of a builder, Bob worked in conventional construction in Florida before moving to New York to study architecture at the Cooper Union. His thesis research on ancient uses of natural energy and natural materials led him to travel to North Africa.
