New Community Partner: DesignBuildBLUFF


DesignBuildBLUFF is a non-profit organization that builds environmentally sustainable homes in the Navajo Nation. Our work introduces first-year graduate students in architecture to the culture and history of Utah’s desert southeast, where they design, and ultimately build a home for a Navajo Family.

My meeting with DesignBuildBLUFF last week left me inspired on so many levels. First of all, what they are doing is AWESOME. Watch this video and tell me you aren't inspired. Seriously, its only twelve minutes. You waste way more than that on Facebook. It makes me want to build a better world. Their mission is meaningful, and necessary. It's currently our only community partner that has something to offer students in Career and Technical Education. I'm looking forward to starting that conversation and getting some of our students involved.

Go check out their website www.designbuildbluff.org for more information. And stay tuned for great things
