Navajo Nation Design Guidelines

master plans
location: Navajo Nation
client: Navajo Housing Authority
role: Planner | Landscape Designer

scope: Design guidelines for the creation of sustainable communities in the Navajo Nation. The 250 page book is intended to guide the development of entire towns (Chapters) that may include: new housing, tourism ventures, regional and local transport, infrastructure, open space, food production, and health and safety services. Any new construction proposed is to reflect Navajo culture, current needs, and sustainable living, with the goal to provide the Navajo people communities that celebrate their way of life. This is the largest planning effort in the history of the Navajo Nation, and the United States. 
​My project role was compiling the completed information and building the document to its final draft book, including a majority of the text and graphic layouts. Responsibilities also included working closely with Swaback planners and architects who previously worked on compiling the findings presented in the document; presentations, and applying my research and knowledge of sustainable community design for emerging communities.
