At Yestermorrow, we believe the design/build process plays a vital role in a participatory, sustainable future.
Since I joined the Yestermorrow team in March 2016, I’ve witnessed firsthand what can only be described as a design/build revolution. I’ve met all kinds of students—from professionals, to DIYers, to artists, activists, and change-makers. Everyone shares a desire for hands-on education that makes tangible vital ideas like sustainability, climate resilience, and self and community empowerment. And Yestermorrow students apply what they learn to do amazing things. I’ve seen designs for affordable net-zero housing, newly launched sustainable design businesses, to handmade furniture, and new homes with permaculture sites. While most come to advance careers or learn practical skills, all leave here transformed—with new friendships, and inspired possibilities to create a better world. This year we’ve launched a blog series to celebrate our alumni. Called “Beyond the Valley,” it showcases stories of our students and their collective impact in sustainability and design/build. If you’d like to share your Yester experience, head over to our website and select Submit Your Story under the Connect menu.
We have so many great courses lined up for 2017. From weekend to two-week workshops, to certificate programs and our semester program, there really is something for everyone. Additionally, we are expanding our professional development offerings; look out for the • Pro Series • mark. Check out some of our new offerings this year, including a workshop on Resilient Community Design/Build taught by David Perkes of the Gulf Coast Community Design Studio (pg. 21), new online Sketchup courses taught by Board member Ben Weiss (pg. 29), delivery of high performance buildings at market rate taught by Board member Adam Cohen (p. 15), and a metalworking workshop at Steven Clay-Young’s studio (p. 27). To me, design/build is fundamentally holistic. When you design and build something, you become a mastercrafter—and integrate your head and hands. At Yestermorrow, we believe the design/build process plays a vital role in a participatory, sustainable future. Everyone can be empowered to create beautiful + sustainable places and things. We are a laboratory and hub for this work and look forward to seeing you on campus.

Learning Experience We welcome students of all abilities who want to put their hands to work making their world. In hands-on classes that explore and engage, we teach the arts of design and building as an integrated process, and provide instruction in fundamental skills. We offer more than 80 classes in sustainable building and design, construction, natural building, architectural craft, woodworking, working landscapes and ecosystems, energy efficiency, and building science. Our curriculum allows students to learn, think, and practice at varying scales: in the context of whole buildings, communities, and ecosystems; on specific materials, methods, on sustainable high performance technologies; and on the fine details that make structures functional and beautiful. The students here are DIYers and professionals, women and men, undergraduates and lifelong learners, hobbyists, and those seeking a career or life change. Courses are taught by top architects, builders, craftspeople, and permaculture practitioners from Vermont and around the country. Uniting thinking and making, and exploring relationships between the natural and built environments, Yestermorrow empowers students to create intentional and inspired pieces, places, buildings, and communities that enrich life and enhance our world.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Through classes and the people I met, I was able to articulate my curiosities and passions‌ and am still on the path that I found while at Yestermorrow. +1.888.496.5541 | www.yestermorrow.org | 5
Instructors Yestermorrow’s Instructors are professional architects, builders, engineers, furniture makers, artisans, and designers. Each brings with him or her the most current, cutting-edge knowledge and real-world experience. They regularly push the boundaries of their respective fields, building more effectively, more efficiently, and more beautifully. Outside of Yestermorrow, our instructors are creating a better, more sustainable, and resilient built environment. They are presenting at international conferences, showing artwork for museum exhibits, getting featured on TV shows and social media, writing books, and designing award-winning, high-performance structures. They are re-imagining the role of architecture, leading international sustainable development projects, and organizing community events to encourage participatory art-making. And they love to teach! Yestermorrow’s instructors share their expertise—as well as a personal and professional commitment to the tenets of sustainable design/build—understandably and accessibly so in the elemental creative process that is place-making.
I came here with no background in building, design, or architecture. The instructors taught me everything I needed to know to be confident in the art of design and building.

Aaron Freed-Thall ALUMNI PROFILE
How did you hear about Yestermorrow? I heard about Yestermorrow from friends and family. I had thought about taking courses there a few times and Home Design/Build (p.17) was my first one.
Why did you decide to take a course at Yestermorrow? I grew up in Northern Vermont. After a decade traveling the country and the world, I decided there’s no place I’d rather put down roots than Vermont’s fertile soil. I wanted to follow in the tradition my father and grandfather had started 35 years ago, when they built our family home. So I put myself through a crash course on carpentry, which was capped off with the Yestermorrow Home Design/Build course.
confidence to build it. I am especially thankful to my classmates and our instructors. This endeavor wouldn’t have been possible without Mac Rood’s patient instruction. Oh...can’t forget the kitchen staff. My advice to students… make sure you get the meal plan, you won’t regret it!
What are you doing now? I am currently building my home full time. I am the general contractor as well as the lead carpenter, so I have my hands full. I hope to be moved in by winter.
What did you value about your Yestermorrow experience? The course far exceeded my expectations. I came in having no architectural background; I left with a home design I was excited about and the

Janaki Natarajan SEMESTER CLIENT PROFILE Janaki Natarajan is an educator and activist currently living in Westminster West, Vermont who founded Educational Praxis (Praxis), a Vermont based nonprofit organization, and Spark Teacher Training Program. Both organizations work to bring people of diverse communities together through direct educational activities to develop solidarity with learning and teaching centers around the world. Their educational activities promote critical reflection, economic equity and security, ecological consciousness, cultural groundings and creative action for the purpose of addressing the schisms of race, class, caste, and gender. She is also the Director of Bapagrama Educational Center in Bangalore, India, which was founded by her parents and has served primarily the Dalit community since 1949. Educational Praxis was the client for Yestermorrow’s Semester Program (p.39). Yestermorrow students built a 750-square foot structure that houses a small library, meeting space, and living quarters for visiting scholars of Educational Praxis.
What connections do you see between social justice and hands-on education? I was born in South India in the 1940s towards the end of British rule. Both my parents were in the Gandhian movement; their personal lives became focused on working to end British rule and building an independent India. In 1949, my mother Saraswathi asked Gandhi what work she should do. Gandhi asked her to open a school for Dalit girls, which would provide a healthy, creative, and free education. Saraswathi founded the Bapagrama Educational Center in Bangalore. The school was rooted in a “thinking by doing” philosophy, consistent with making Indian villages become more self-reliant. Educators around the world were basing educational activities on growing food, learning to build, and using “intermediate technology.” The skills of building smokeless stoves, getting cooking
32 32
gas from cow dung, harvesting water, building with local materials, and many more productive activities, were linked to literacy and scientific thinking. My work has been about how not to divide mental and manual labor. This division of labor in human history between hands and head is very much the basis of caste and class. Our actions need to breakthrough and transform hierarchical systems. The underlying questions are: Who owns? Who controls? Who labors? Who benefits?
What was it like working with the Yestermorrow Semester Program? The idea of our new building arose because it was clear that the work of the Praxis community needed a small library, room for seminars, and a short-term living space for visitors. It was also clear that the principles of Yestermorrow were deeply connected with the worldview of Praxis. I enjoyed the learning process at Yestermorrow, which involves students designing and building the structure. The designing and the building rose out of mutual conversations about needs and imaginings. There were delightful visits and exchanges with the young builders and the Praxis community. The young builders said that the building had two little wings like a chickadee, so they called it the Chickadee House. Eric Cook (Semester Program Director) was crucial in explaining the design/building process to me and the students. His leadership, clarity, patience and humor were instrumental to the process. The welcome and support of the staff of Yestermorrow was wonderful. The imaginings of what the building was to be became concrete through the discipline of building, embodying the thinking and doing of Yestermorrow.

IMPACT
Jacob Mushlin FORMER DESIGN/BUILD INTERN, CURRENT INSTRUCTOR
How did you hear about Yestermorrow? I studied architecture my first year of college, but transferred to another school to study art. As I went through this transition, a friend mentioned Yestermorrow to me and they rightly assumed it would be a place that aligned with my interest and learning style. In 2008, I was working in an office and I quickly realized that I did not enjoy being a desk jockey. Working in an office was not for me. I left the desk job to take the Sustainable Treehouse Design and Construction (p 19) class at Yestermorrow. There I found myself surrounded by a group of wonderful and hilarious people, guided by two warm and thoughtful instructors. I was in awe of the entire design/build process. While I was inexperienced at the time, after this class I felt more equipped for a job in the trades than a job in an office.
What was your Yestermorrow internship like? Any highlights? When someone takes a class at Yestermorrow, they get a hands-on learning experience. They also experience a unique community, which includes the cross-pollination of people, sharing ideas and techniques, conversations in the kitchen, and playing music after hours. Living on campus for six
months provided an invaluable education; in addition, to what I learned from the courses I took, I benefited in a holistic way from being a part of the school community. From learning SketchUp with a fellow intern in our free time to forming a band with local folks, I met some of the most important people in my life at Yestermorrow.
What do you do now? When I’m not teaching at Yestermorrow, I’m running my own business Measure Twice. Measure Twice is a building company that specializes in people-centric architecture and unusual endeavors ranging from tiny houses to community garden spaces.
What do you like most about teaching at Yestermorrow? Besides the food? I love teaching, it’s something I’ve enjoyed since being a swimming counselor in my teens. The thing I love most about teaching at Yestermorrow is that it happens at Yestermorrow. The staff and instructors are profoundly wonderful people. I also enjoy meeting with the variety of people who are drawn to the school—be it to start a new career, deepen an interest, or just take a sharp left turn from their typical life—come with a warmth and openness that’s hard to find and great to have.

SEMESTER IN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN/BUILD AUGUST 19 – DECEMBER 8, 2017
The Yestermorrow-UMass Semester in Sustainable Design/Build is a 17-week immersion exploring sustainability and our built environment. Students in the Semester Program use the design and construction of a small structure (250-400 sq ft) as a vehicle to develop interdisciplinary, whole-systems thinking, and creative and technical skills in architecture and construction. PROGRAM
PROJECT
This credit-bearing semester offers classroom and hands-on experience in environmental design and low-impact building. Coursework complements study in architecture, engineering, and environmental design and readily enhances liberal arts curricula —collaboration, problem-solving, and critical and analytical thinking are emphasized. Students translate theory into practice, ultimately building an architecturally innovative, high-performance structure of their own design.
The projects undertaken by the Semester in Sustainable Design/Build offer the opportunity to flex new and existing creative muscles while analyzing and prioritizing real-world challenges. Whether exploring questions of affordability and equity through a tiny house design or examining issues of community empowerment, economics, and need with a non-profit client, students engage in every aspect of bringing a project to fruition— examining its structural, contextual, and social implications. Because these are ‘real-world’ projects with tangible constraints, students also prioritize fiscal responsibility and long-term viability. These varied challenges serve students well in any career path.
Students gain broad experience in project management and group dynamics. The collaborative design process fosters sound arguments and thoroughly developed opinions as well as environmentally ethical building practices. A well-guided construction experience ensures that students become skilled in hand and power tools, safe jobsite conduct, and good building practices. Students are empowered with the ability and confidence to devise and execute appropriate solutions and technologies.
ADMISSIONS The Yestermorrow-UMass Semester offers admission to highly motivated undergraduates and recent graduates in any major from any institution of higher education—no previous architecture or building experience is necessary. Students are enrolled in 15 credits per semester through UMass Amherst’s NAAB-accredited Architecture + Design Program. Financial aid may be transferable.

The curriculum fully integrates design with woodworking instruction, part of Yestermorrow’s core philosophy of design/build, and the low instructor/student ratio (1:4) ensures that students receive daily personal instruction. The program’s focus on practical skills and techniques and creative problem solving provide real opportunities in the real world. Students receive the Woodwork Career Alliance of North America’s skill passport and are assessed on skills they become proficient in. Students walk away with a portable credential linked to strong career paths in the woodworking career field. Recent graduates of the Woodworking Certificate program have earned apprenticeships with nationally renowned furnituremakers, established their own woodworking shops, and integrated their newly honed skill sets into existing design/ build practices or furniture making hobbies. Tuition: $8500 / Materials fee: $300
January 30 – February 24, 2017 Net Zero buildings are carbon neutral structures that integrate hyper efficiency with renewable technologies. They are at the cutting edge of sustainable design, and key strategy for policymakers addressing climate change. Net Zero designs are made possible with an understanding of building science- the analysis of how physical phenomena, including heat, moisture, air movement, and gravity affect buildings. Building science provides a body of knowledge for designers to use these forces to maximize comfort and minimize energy use. Through lecture, case study, demonstration, hands-on testing, and design exercises, students will gain a firm grasp of the science behind building performance, and begin to explore how to design in accordance with the laws of physics and the forces of nature. If you are a designer, builder, project manager, property owner, or policy professional, or are moving toward one of these careers, a firm understanding of building science and the path to net zero buildings is fast becoming a critical credential for any successful practitioner. Prerequisite: basic building literacy or enrollment in Yestermorrow’s two-day Anatomy of a House workshop (p.15), occurring immediately prior to the Certificate program. Tuition: $3500 / Materials fee: $75

NATURAL BUILDING CERTIFICATE May 8 – June 16, 2017
May 8 – June 10, 2017 The Certificate in Residential Design & Construction brings together the core aspects of the school’s design/ build curriculum into one cohesive and comprehensive five-week package. For people interested in embarking on a career in the design or building trades, or those seeking deep involvement in the creation of their own dream home, this program provides the appropriate skills and knowledge through a mix of design challenges, site visits, studio sessions, and hands-on, experiential project work. The program begins with a week of rough carpentry and framing in the context of new construction, and then moves on to tackle the challenges of renovating existing structures, followed by segments focused on electrical and plumbing design and installation, cabinetry, and finish carpentry and trim work. Students will have the opportunity to do design challenges during weekly evening sessions. The program culminates in the design studio where students learn to explore and communicate residential designs through the creation of floor plans, sections, elevations, and scale models for a real or hypothetical client. Tuition: $4500 / Materials fee: $115
Building with natural and local materials promotes both ecological health and human-scaled environments. Yestermorrow’s Natural Building Certificate is a unique course of study providing hands-on exploration of earthen and natural elements and the means by which they can be used to create resilient structures and shelter. The program provides the opportunity to develop a range of natural building skills for owner-builders and aspiring professional natural builders alike. The program moves beyond the materials themselves, touching as well on the unique challenges and opportunities of designing with these materials, and on the scientific understanding that allows for their use in the creation of highperformance shelter. Students gain comfort and experience working with straw, wood, clay, sand, stone, water, and lime as they design, erect, shape, sculpt, and detail the walls, roofs, and floors that enclose healthy and low-impact living spaces. Going a step further, the program explores how to balance natural and modern green building materials and techniques in order to achieve a construction project’s sustainable goals in an appropriate and responsible manner.

The Vermont Experience The Yestermorrow campus is located in the heart of the Mad River Valley, one of Vermont’s premier four-season resort areas. “The Valley” sits in the geographical center of the state, one hour southeast of the state’s prominent city, Burlington, and 30 minutes southwest of Montpelier, the state’s capital. The region has a vast collection of historic villages, a beautiful, bucolic landscape, and endless recreational possibilities. Each season is enriched with performing arts, cultural and sporting events, and festivals.

Bordered by the spine of the Green Mountains to the west and the smaller Northfield Ridge to the east, the Mad River Valley, with a population of just over 6,000, is defined by a narrow, sometimes turbulent and sometimes gentle river, just several yards across at its widest. The Route 100 corridor that follows the Mad River through the Valley is a designated Scenic Byway, but driving through without stopping in the picturesque towns of Warren, Waitsfield, Fayston, or Moretown is something one seldom does. Well known as a winter skiing destination, the Valley is also full of indoor and outdoor possibilities in warmer weather when hiking, biking, paddling and the local food scene, can fill and evening, day, weekend, or whole vacation.

How did you hear about Yestermorrow? Like so many others driving down route 100 through Waitsfield, I drove past the Yestermorrow sign and wondered “what on earth is that place?” After driving past numerous times, I finally remembered to look it up and was instantly fascinated by vibrancy and creativity of the school. I have been hoping ever since for the opportunity to take a course. I first visited the YM campus in the summer of 2014 when I attended a speaker series on tiny house design. Having recently begun the planning process of my own tiny house on wheels, I was eager to learn more and hoping desperately to see a tiny house in person. For the record, I learned a ton from the speaker as it was majorly influential in my design philosophy. Also, I got to see a tiny house that was under construction. I consider this event a major contributor to the successful complete of my tiny house in the winter of 2015.
What drew you to Yestermorrow? Just walking on to the Yestermorrow campus, the positive vibes surround you. It is such a welcoming and warm community, which was something that had been missing in my previous jobs. To me, the traditional model of learning always felt like a chore to check off the list. Once I finished my formal education, I felt free to learn at my own pace by taking more hands-on classes. I realized immediately that I love to learn. The hands-on learning methods employed by Yestermorrow’s instructors coincides with my learning style. I’m eager to absorb as much knowledge as I can from the remarkable teachers here on campus.
What is your role at Yestermorrow? As the Student Services Coordinator I have the joy and opportunity of being most student’s first point of contact at Yestermorrow. I get the first glimpse into all the diverse talents, interests, and backgrounds that students bring with them to the campus. I also manage the school’s social media, which gives me the opportunity to share the stories developing on campus with the off-campus Yestermorrow community.
The hands-on learning methods employed by Yestermorrow’s instructors coincides with my learning style.

Yestermorrow would not be the school it is without the generous support of our donors, most of whom are current and former students. Thanks to the hundreds of donations we receive each year, Yestermorrow is able to provide scholarship assistance, keep tuition affordable, and continually fine-tune our course offerings and enhance and improve our facilities. Tax-deductible contributions make up 20 percent of our operating revenue each year, and nearly 100 percent of the funds for future capital improvements. Charitable, tax-deductible contributions allow us to assist students with scholarships, and to invest in the facility and equipment upgrades needed to better serve our instructors and students. Just as we teach collaboration as part of a creative design/build process, contributions are a way for donors to collaborate with Yestermorrow in creating an outstanding learning environment. Gifts of any size are welcomed. The more donor/collaborators we have the better. Thank you.
