Jeremy Delgado

Born in Woodland Hills California. I was raised between 68th St & Converse ave in South Central Los Angeles & Downey, California. As a youth I was brought up working in South Central L.A. in my grandfather’s grocery store and spent many hours on the weekends in volunteer construction work. This early exposure to pro-bono volunteering, construction, and family based small business work ethic in combination with my bachelor of architecture at Woodbury University rounds me out well as a designer and entrepreneur with a focus on giving back to society in meaningful ways.

This new school is directed at instructing the lay person, specifically in third-world rural areas but otherwise open to any applicant, in the construction of homes and community centers using low-tech ancient methods of building with the earth, dirt, in combination with cost effective new concepts and technology in structures, energy conservation and production, waste management, and water conservation. One aspect of this venture was the production of a set of sturdy simple info-graphic construction documents, without words, with the intent spreading this knowledge quickly and without the need to translate into local indigenous languages.
