SURVIVE!
The ultimate game of architecture is played every fall in the third year of the architecture program at Philadelphia University. Students are divided into teams that represent various Native American Nations in a variety of environmental and cultural contexts.

Each team competes in a series of challenges (see menu on right) and accumulates points until a winner is declared. Along the way students learn the value of teamwork, creativity, and begin to see architecture as part of a larger and more complex cultural, ecological and technological continuum.

The "Elders"
Rob Fleming, Carol Hermann, Chris Stromberg, Troy Leonard, Bennur Koksuz,
