DP3 Architects recently had the opportunity to volunteer for the South Carolina Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (SCNOMA) with their Project Pipeline initiative.

Project Pipeline is an educational day camp that introduces middle and high school students, particularly those from underrepresented communities, to the field of architecture. The program is designed to spark interest in architecture and design by providing students with hands-on experiences and mentorship from professionals in the industry. Through workshops, design challenges, and field trips, Project Pipeline equips students with the knowledge and skills to pursue careers in architecture and related fields.

For Project Pipeline’s inaugural camp hosted at the Clemson School of Architecture, SCNOMA partnered with the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Greenville County. Team members from DP3 Architects had the privilege of volunteering as professional mentors to the students, aiding in their design workshops and facilitating activities. The team also had the unique opportunity to participate in the tour of the Black Heritage Trail on Clemson University’s campus. The Black Heritage Trail features heritage sites connected to the stories of local Black history and South Carolina historical markers at significant historic sites. Overall, this experience was a way to give back and invest in the education and mentorship of future architects to ensure a vibrant and diverse profession.

As we look to the future of architecture, initiatives like Project Pipeline remind us of the power of mentorship, the importance of diversity, and the endless possibilities that arise when professionals invest in the next generation.

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Tickets for the South Carolina premier of the award-winning documentary Call Me Dancer as well as a dance workshop with the star of the film go on sale this week.

The Greenville Jewish Film Festival’s SummerFest 2024 will offer a unique blend of cultures this year as the feature presentation tells the saga of a Mumbai street dancer’s journey under the guidance of an Israeli ballet master.

Call Me Dancer is a story about perseverance, passion, culture and unlikely friendships directed and produced by Leslie Shampaine, and recently won a Magnolia Award for Best Documentary at the Shanghai TV Festival

The film follows Manish Chauhan, a street dancer from Mumbai, whose working-class parents depend on their only son’s financial support. His life changes after he accidentally walks into an inner-city dance school and encounters the brilliant but curmudgeonly 70-year-old Israeli ballet master Yehuda Maor. The ambitious Manish becomes determined to make it as a professional dancer, but the odds are stacked against him. Together, Manish and Yehuda transform each other’s lives, searching to uncover who and what they are. Yehuda seeks purpose and a place to call home. Manish dreams of dancing on the world stage but struggles to break free from the confines of his economic and social circumstances.
