Five students participated in the inaugural program: Thomas Adamietz from North Dakota State University, Danielle D. Baez from Dartmouth College, Eric Barth from Bates College, Evan Deutsch from Middlebury College, and Erwin Sukamto from Rhode Island School of Design. Before the session began, Moskow and Linn decided the first project would be a chicken coop. "We were looking for a structure that could be something we could experiment with but something that also had a real program," Moskow says. One day during the week before the six-day program began, the students met with Moskow and Linn in their Boston office to brainstorm ideas. "There were lots of far-fetched ideas because none of the students had built anything and only two were in architecture school so it was a matter of reigning in some of the more complex ideas," Moskow says.
