Sustainable Housing for Park Rangers in Big Bend National Park, Texas
Abstract
A team of graduate architecture students and
faculty from the School of Architecture, at the
University of Texas at Austin, under the direction
of Associate Professor Michael Garrison, and the
Department of Architecture, Texas Tech
University, under the direction of Associate
Professor Glenn Hill, have designed
environmentally friendly "green" homes for park
rangers in Big Bend National Park, Texas. With
funding from the National Park Foundation and a
construction commitment of 1.2 million dollars
by the National Park Service, design teams in the
joint project have developed permanent
sustainable housing responsive to the hot-arid
desert climate.
