Mission

The Yestermorrow Design/Build School is a dynamic learning community exploring and teaching the integrated creative process of designing and building a sustainable future.

Philosophy

The Yestermorrow Design/Build School was founded in 1980 on the belief that the best built environment depends on the joint cooperation of designers, builders and homeowners. Our goal is to empower people to unleash their creative spirit by researching, preserving and teaching the integrated design/build process. The name Yestermorrow is a synthesis of yesterday’s dedication to craft and beauty in the making of a built environment with tomorrow’s vanguard technologies, materials and lessons learned about the environmental impacts of our actions on the present and future. This synthesis is achieved through Yestermorrow’s design/build approach to architecture and through the connection between hand and mind that unfolds in the design/build process. By teaching students to express their values and lifestyle through this process, we foster a self-awareness that reconnects people to their communities, their natural environment and to each other. We help create healthy, sustainable communities by helping people to take steps to “make their own place.”
