Speaker Series: Desingbuildbluff on the Navajo Nation

Past event
Oct 21, 2020, 7 to 8 PM

Join us Wednesday, October 21st at 7PM EST for the last of our Fall Virtual Speaker Series! Use the link bit.ly/YM-Fall2020 to tune in on Zoom. We are hosting a panel of folks from DesignBuildBluff in Utah, which recently became part of Yestermorrow.

---------

DesignBuildBLUFF is a graduate architecture program at the University of Utah focused on immersing students in hands-on cross-cultural experiences. We work in partnership with the Rural and Native communities of San Juan County in the Utah Four Corners. There is an overwhelming need for affordable and culturally appropriate housing within the Navajo Nation. With this problem in mind, our students sought to develop a flexible housing prototype that could be easily built by would-be native homeowners. The concept of "sweat equity" is one in which the client uses their own labor, rather than cash, as a form of contribution in the building process. Join Hiroko Yamamoto (instructor), Carmi Holguin (CDC Manager & Founder), Adrienne Caesar (intern), and Perry Martin (student) to learn more about this impactful program.
