Abstract

The traditional house of the Navajo is the round plan, domed roofed ‘hogan’. Although an ancestral model, it is open to evolution with insulated construction, improved windows, and provision for electricity, piped water and sewer to provide modern health and comfort for increased sustainability. A strong housing need and large unemployment is coupled with the major reconfiguration of nearby National Forests, that provide small diameter trees as thinings – round-wood Douglas fir logs have diameters up to 8 inches (200 mm). The Round-wood Hogan Project is an exceptional opportunity for economic and cultural symbiosis. Renewable local materials are used to create jobs, build houses and reinforce sustainable continuity, both material and spiritual, for Native American Indians.
