Native American Sustainable Housing Initiative to Build Green Homes on Pine Ridge Reservation.
The World Architecture News (12/23) reports, "A team of faculty, students and volunteers at the University of Colorado is undertaking an investigation into the provision of sustainable housing on Tribal lands on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation." They aim "to establish a sustainable, affordable and culturally appropriate design which will be demonstrated on the Oglala Lakota College campus." Currently, the "homes on the Reservation are energy inefficient, unable to cater to large numbers of residents, and regularly succumb to black mould."
