Course Snapshot: Yestermorrow/UMass Semester in Design/Build

Started in 2011, the Design/Build Semester is an ongoing partnership between Yestermorrow Design/Build School (Waitsfield, VT) and UMass Amherst’s Department of Architecture (Amherst, MA). Operating annually from mid-August to mid-December, the Semester Program takes up to 15 students from a variety of backgrounds through an architectural design process to the substantial completion of a year-round structure. Past projects have included back country cabins, tiny houses, and site-built homes. Each year is a unique experience as it largely driven by the project. Students receive instruction in design, assembly and detailing, and building performance while exploring group process, definitions of sustainability, and relevant contexts in vernacular architecture. This full-immersion, credit-bearing semester in building and design complements architecture, building science, engineering, and environmental design majors and has wide application in liberal arts curricula. Class formally meets on weekdays from 9am - 5pm. Students in this program have the option to earn 15 credits. Video by Allie Rood
