Monthly Chapter Meetings

Through the lens of contemporary Pueblo architecture, course participants will explore how design rooted in tradition can heal, protect, and empower communities.

 

Led by Dr. Theodore (Ted) Jojola of the University of New Mexico and Dr. Lynn Paxson, the course illustrates how architecture serves as a living expression of communities—where spaces are shaped not just for shelter, but for belonging, resilience, and cultural flourishing. Through powerful case studies and vibrant discussion, participants will learn how ancestral design principles—harmonious with the land, sustainable by nature, and centered on community well-being—can guide contemporary practice.

​

In honoring tradition while embracing innovation, architects can craft environments that safeguard health, foster safety, and nurture the human spirit.
