The Navajo Nation Museum, Library, and Visitor’s Center is a contemporary architectural expression of an ancient and enduring culture. Design solutions were developed in collaboration with the Navajo Advisory Committee, resulting in a rich palette of symbolic materials, directional orientations, and reverence to nature associated with the Navajo. In addition to the library, theater, administrative, and cultural spaces within the interior, the project features an outdoor amphitheater for performances and community gatherings.
