ON THE COVER: A Diné College classroom building at the Shiprock, NM satellite campus, the largest of the college’s satellites, is built like a fortress and mirrors the sacred Shiprock pinnacle, rising abruptly, extending toward the sky. The building won Weller Architects of Albuquerque, NM two awards: the NM AIA 2005 Design Honor Award and the 2005 Excellence in Concrete award. Photo credit: Thomas E. Coppedge of Weller Architects, P.C. who also designed the building. Cover design credit: Nakota Designs, Inc. designed the composite of photographs.
