Description

New Architecture on Indigenous Lands by Joy Monice Malnar and Frank Vodvarka explores the evolving relationship between Native American communities and their built environment. This book presents a unique perspective on contemporary Native architecture, showcasing cultural centers, schools, clinics, housing, and other buildings that reflect the traditions and ideas of their inhabitants. Through in-depth analysis and interviews with designers and their clients, Malnar and Vodvarka examine the sensory, symbolic, cultural, and environmental contexts of this new architecture. The authors highlight distinctive features of Native building projects in Canada and the western and midwestern United States, including the Tribal Council Chambers of the Pojoaque Pueblo and the Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre. By examining these examples, Malnar and Vodvarka provide a rare insight into the aesthetic power of new Native architecture, highlighting its significance for understanding cultural identity and community development.
