WHAT IS GALRI?

GALRI is a joint venture association of San Francisco Bay Area architects
who have been working in Haiti since January of 2010 in collaboration with
Haitian professionals and citizens.

The name GALRI comes from the Kreyol work for veranda or porch, that
essential Haitian place that mediates between the private interior and the
public community life.

We are focused on cultural connection and environmental sustainability as
vital sparks in regeneration and redevelopment.
GALRI PROVIDES:

     TOWN & SITE PLANNING

and sustain Haiti's built and natural environment.
GALRI OBJECTIVES:

We leverage international development resources with local knowledge and
networks

We facilitate sustainable, culturally connected planning and design in public
and private initiatives to revitalize the cities and towns of post-earthquake
Haiti
GALRI IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS:

We identify and match development opportunities with entitlements, capital
and human resources.

We implement sustainable, culturally connected planning, design and
construction.

GINGERBREAD

REDEVELOPMENT

“LEGENDS OF HAITI”
GALRI Restoration Vision for the “Castel Fleuri” in Port au Prince
Haiti's historic Gingerbread Houses embody an extraordinary exhibition of
architectural artistry, and provide both a touchstone and a beacon for the
efforts to rebuild and regenerate Port au Prince and Haiti.

Designed and built in the early 20th century by Haitian born architects who
had studied in France, and utilizing a resilient hybrid of timber frame and
masonry construction, they are uniquely ornamented and ingeniously
climatically responsive.

The Gingerbreads thus exemplify a global high water mark of African
American and Creole environmental culture. However, although they are
acknowledged as world treasures of art and building, and have proved
remarkably resilient in the wake of the January 2010 earthquake, many are in
danger of vanishing, through neglect, demolition, redevelopment and a lack
of awareness of their significance and exceptionality.
The Gingerbreads provide a wonderful model of the creative power of Creole
culture, as a regional amalgam of globally transmitted African, European,
and American threads, that is inherently responsive to local circumstance,
including in terms of climate, materials and construction technology--in other
words "sustainable".

An ambitious joint endeavor, of historical preservation and education, of
conserving and restoring these buildings, raising awareness of their
particularly rich cultural legacy, would re-introduce the best of Haiti, its
"Legends" to the world.

Galri is currently working with international hospitality experts on
developing economic, planning, architectural and restoration plans that will
preserve and nourish these "Legends" through the 21st Century, and leverage
their splendor as a prime catalyst for Haiti's redevelopment.
THE URBAN VILLAGE MODEL
GALRI Preliminary Sketch for Port au Prince Urban Village Model
The "Urban Village Model" is an integrated system for developing, building
and maintaining the physical environment of small self managed
communities in urban settings. In Haiti, the "Urban Village" is a cohesive
physical and social whole--a mini-neighborhood--primarily residential,
centered around a shared open space --- "Lakou" in Kreyol.

The Urban Village Model is not a Disney-like "model village." Rather, it is a
systematic method to identify, configure and build housing that creates
vibrant communities. Key elements include: integrated planning, design,
engineering and construction, on site prototyping with residents, independent
infrastructure, and adoption of dynamic social and market channels for
scaling and adaptation.
GALRI Building Types Study for Urban Village Model
Several key Haitian Kreyol environmental patterns are manifested in the
Urban Village Model, including:

"Nuovo Lakou"--a modernization of the traditional Haitian courtyard

Landscape stewardship--integrating private and shared open spaces with
landscape restoration

A diversity of building types, including Creole Townhouses, "Kay Chamhot"
(tall house) and "Ti Kay" (small house)

"Galri" (veranda) extended outdoor living spaces

"Jaden pre kay" (kitchen gardens)

Property line hedgerows & gates
METROPOLITAN PORT AU PRINCE
    RESIDENTIAL VILLAGES
GALRI Preliminary Sketch for Metropolitan Port au Prince Residential Village
The residential villages are sited on multi-acre "greenfield" parcels within
commuting distance of downtown Port au Prince.

The Haitian residential village synthesizes Haitian and American medium
density "suburban" models. Preliminary studies demonstrate capacity for
several hundred dwellings, with connections to local commercial and work
centers, as well as social, institutional and recreational facilities.

The house types would vary in scale and configuration, from small homes to
estate lots, with potential also for modestly scaled apartment and mixed use
buildings. Each typical lot accommodates two dwelling units.

Existing trees, natural watercourses and other landscape features will to be
restored and enhanced. A connected grid of streets and blocks will be
integrated with the site's existing topography and landscape. The residential
core of the villages would be developed initially, providing a resilient
foundation for incremental infill growth.
GALRI Preliminary Sketch for Residential Village Typical Lot Configuration
Civic patterns in the residential villages include:
•A healthy mix of residential & working life
•Connection to neighboring infrastructure networks
•Integrated energy, water, waste, transportation and communications
management

Architectural and building patterns in the residential villages include:
•A diversity of building types & scales
•Safe, durable & culturally connected construction methods & materials

Landscape repair patterns in the residential villages include:
•A garden network at a range of scales
•Tree lined streets and property line hedgerows, as part of an integrated water
resource system

CURRENT PROJECTS
 IN DEVELOPMENT
THE WHAT IF PROGRAM
What if Courtyard
The What If Foundation was founded in 2000 to support food and education
programs for impoverished children in Port-au-Prince. The food program
started small, but grew steadily and now feeds more than 500 children per
day in the Ti Plas Kazo neighborhood. Its school scholarship program
provides 200 scholarships annually. Education and nutrition together are
essential to break the hold that poverty has on a majority of children in Haiti.


Recognizing the paramount importance of education, and how inaccessible it
is for the poor in Haiti, the What If Foundation has undertaken the building
and operating its own school instead of simply providing scholarships. The
school and cafeteria will serve 500 students, K-13. The food program will
continue for the students, as well as maintaining programs for the larger
community, including access to an multi-purpose/auditorium space for
community events.
The What If Foundation has partnered with a team from Builders Without
Borders, led by the GALRI member, architect Martin Hammer, to design and
oversee the construction of the approximately one million dollar project, with
construction slated to start in the Fall of 2012.

The design addresses the project’s functional needs, is engineered for both
earthquakes and hurricanes, meets the challenges of a sloping urban site, and
is responsive to climate and culture with its use of the open open but shaded
Galri for circulation.

The project will include Photovoltaic electricity, rainwater catchment, and
dehydrating toilets. The building will be constructed using reinforced
concrete block with crushed rubble aggregate, bamboo roof framing in the
Galri, and plastered straw-clay panels in the second story walls.
MEDICORP CLINIC
& HOUSING PROTOTYPES
MEDICORP Clinic
These projects are being implemented as a collaboration between the
University of San Francisco Architecture and Community Design
International Outreach Program under the direction of GALRI member Seth
Wachtel, and Medicorp, a non-profit community partner in Haiti. This
prototype primary care clinic and attendant housing provides Haitian
communities with access to health care in structurally safe, efficiently
designed and culturally connected buildings.

The clinic is designed to be familiar and inviting, climatically comfortable,
and structurally able to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. It is to serve as
a place of comfort, hope and safety for the community.
The attendant dwellings are located in proximity to the Health Clinic,
providing housing for health care workers. Various configurations of this
complex of housing and health services are intended to be deployed
throughout Haiti.

Construction details that apply current engineering standards to an adaptation
of the historic Gingerbread/Columbage building type found in Port au Prince,
Jacmel and other Haitian cities are being developed with the engineering
team. The timber laced masonry system is both beautiful and seismically and
hurricane resistant.
PATTERNS:
KREYOL LIVING WISDOM
Kreyol Living Wisdom Building Types Research
We call the essential patterns of the Haitian environmental legacy “Kreyol
Living Wisdom”. They are a touchstone and inspiration for rebuilding, a
magnet for investment, and a priceless stake in establishing Haiti’s full
partnership on the world stage.

Kreyol Living Wisdom is the means by which culturally connected
reconstruction and development can actually happen. It is the way that
ordinary Haitian citizens can shape the truly sustainable regeneration of their
country, through empowering and leveraging the legacy of their native
experience and intelligence.

Kreyol Living Wisdom must be thoroughly documented, archived and
disseminated, in order to best fulfill its full potential.
TEN ESSENTIAL PATTERNS:

The question--What can Haiti teach us?--has guided our work. It is based on
really looking at how Haitians have actually best lived in and crafted their
environment, as well as their dreams and aspirations to a healthier society.
We have focused on ten essential patterns that represent the full spectrum of
this knowledge. These patterns, on three levels of scale include:

TOWNS:                                 BUILDINGS:
 1. Landscape Stewardship              5. The Galri (Porch)
2. Living Off the Land                 6. The Jaden (Garden)
3. Kreyol Settlement Structure         7. Rural Building Models
4. The Lakou                           8. Urban Building Models

                                       CONSTRUCTION:
                                       9. Color, Pattern & Ornament

Introduction to the GALRI group--Transformative Concepts for Haiti Regeneration

  • 1.
  • 2. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE GALRI GROUP
  • 3. TRANSFORMATIVE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS FOR HAITI
  • 5. WHAT IS GALRI? GALRI is a joint venture association of San Francisco Bay Area architects who have been working in Haiti since January of 2010 in collaboration with Haitian professionals and citizens. The name GALRI comes from the Kreyol work for veranda or porch, that essential Haitian place that mediates between the private interior and the public community life. We are focused on cultural connection and environmental sustainability as vital sparks in regeneration and redevelopment.
  • 6. GALRI PROVIDES: TOWN & SITE PLANNING ARCHITECTURE & BUILDING DESIGN CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
  • 7. GALRI VISION: We integrate global best practices with local knowledge, to help regenerate and sustain Haiti's built and natural environment.
  • 8. GALRI OBJECTIVES: We leverage international development resources with local knowledge and networks We facilitate sustainable, culturally connected planning and design in public and private initiatives to revitalize the cities and towns of post-earthquake Haiti
  • 9. GALRI IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS: We identify and match development opportunities with entitlements, capital and human resources. We implement sustainable, culturally connected planning, design and construction. We preserve, restore and enhance Haiti’s unique cultural, landscape for economic engagement with world markets. We help civil servants, property owners, investors and local stakeholders integrate, leverage and balance economic, environmental and social returns on investment. We bring market-driven solutions that will help Haiti emerge onto the world stage as a desirable destination for investment. We establish effective linkages among international and local higher education institutions to improve professional preparation in planning, design, engineering and construction and enhance economic opportunity for younger citizens of Haiti.
  • 11. GALRI Restoration Vision for the “Castel Fleuri” in Port au Prince
  • 12. Haiti's historic Gingerbread Houses embody an extraordinary exhibition of architectural artistry, and provide both a touchstone and a beacon for the efforts to rebuild and regenerate Port au Prince and Haiti. Designed and built in the early 20th century by Haitian born architects who had studied in France, and utilizing a resilient hybrid of timber frame and masonry construction, they are uniquely ornamented and ingeniously climatically responsive. The Gingerbreads thus exemplify a global high water mark of African American and Creole environmental culture. However, although they are acknowledged as world treasures of art and building, and have proved remarkably resilient in the wake of the January 2010 earthquake, many are in danger of vanishing, through neglect, demolition, redevelopment and a lack of awareness of their significance and exceptionality.
  • 13. The Gingerbreads provide a wonderful model of the creative power of Creole culture, as a regional amalgam of globally transmitted African, European, and American threads, that is inherently responsive to local circumstance, including in terms of climate, materials and construction technology--in other words "sustainable". An ambitious joint endeavor, of historical preservation and education, of conserving and restoring these buildings, raising awareness of their particularly rich cultural legacy, would re-introduce the best of Haiti, its "Legends" to the world. Galri is currently working with international hospitality experts on developing economic, planning, architectural and restoration plans that will preserve and nourish these "Legends" through the 21st Century, and leverage their splendor as a prime catalyst for Haiti's redevelopment.
  • 15. GALRI Preliminary Sketch for Port au Prince Urban Village Model
  • 16. The "Urban Village Model" is an integrated system for developing, building and maintaining the physical environment of small self managed communities in urban settings. In Haiti, the "Urban Village" is a cohesive physical and social whole--a mini-neighborhood--primarily residential, centered around a shared open space --- "Lakou" in Kreyol. The Urban Village Model is not a Disney-like "model village." Rather, it is a systematic method to identify, configure and build housing that creates vibrant communities. Key elements include: integrated planning, design, engineering and construction, on site prototyping with residents, independent infrastructure, and adoption of dynamic social and market channels for scaling and adaptation.
  • 17. GALRI Building Types Study for Urban Village Model
  • 18. Several key Haitian Kreyol environmental patterns are manifested in the Urban Village Model, including: "Nuovo Lakou"--a modernization of the traditional Haitian courtyard Landscape stewardship--integrating private and shared open spaces with landscape restoration A diversity of building types, including Creole Townhouses, "Kay Chamhot" (tall house) and "Ti Kay" (small house) "Galri" (veranda) extended outdoor living spaces "Jaden pre kay" (kitchen gardens) Property line hedgerows & gates
  • 19. METROPOLITAN PORT AU PRINCE RESIDENTIAL VILLAGES
  • 20. GALRI Preliminary Sketch for Metropolitan Port au Prince Residential Village
  • 21. The residential villages are sited on multi-acre "greenfield" parcels within commuting distance of downtown Port au Prince. The Haitian residential village synthesizes Haitian and American medium density "suburban" models. Preliminary studies demonstrate capacity for several hundred dwellings, with connections to local commercial and work centers, as well as social, institutional and recreational facilities. The house types would vary in scale and configuration, from small homes to estate lots, with potential also for modestly scaled apartment and mixed use buildings. Each typical lot accommodates two dwelling units. Existing trees, natural watercourses and other landscape features will to be restored and enhanced. A connected grid of streets and blocks will be integrated with the site's existing topography and landscape. The residential core of the villages would be developed initially, providing a resilient foundation for incremental infill growth.
  • 22. GALRI Preliminary Sketch for Residential Village Typical Lot Configuration
  • 23. Civic patterns in the residential villages include: •A healthy mix of residential & working life •Connection to neighboring infrastructure networks •Integrated energy, water, waste, transportation and communications management Architectural and building patterns in the residential villages include: •A diversity of building types & scales •Safe, durable & culturally connected construction methods & materials Landscape repair patterns in the residential villages include: •A garden network at a range of scales •Tree lined streets and property line hedgerows, as part of an integrated water resource system

  • 29. CURRENT PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT
  • 30. THE WHAT IF PROGRAM
  • 32. The What If Foundation was founded in 2000 to support food and education programs for impoverished children in Port-au-Prince. The food program started small, but grew steadily and now feeds more than 500 children per day in the Ti Plas Kazo neighborhood. Its school scholarship program provides 200 scholarships annually. Education and nutrition together are essential to break the hold that poverty has on a majority of children in Haiti. Recognizing the paramount importance of education, and how inaccessible it is for the poor in Haiti, the What If Foundation has undertaken the building and operating its own school instead of simply providing scholarships. The school and cafeteria will serve 500 students, K-13. The food program will continue for the students, as well as maintaining programs for the larger community, including access to an multi-purpose/auditorium space for community events.
  • 33. The What If Foundation has partnered with a team from Builders Without Borders, led by the GALRI member, architect Martin Hammer, to design and oversee the construction of the approximately one million dollar project, with construction slated to start in the Fall of 2012. The design addresses the project’s functional needs, is engineered for both earthquakes and hurricanes, meets the challenges of a sloping urban site, and is responsive to climate and culture with its use of the open open but shaded Galri for circulation. The project will include Photovoltaic electricity, rainwater catchment, and dehydrating toilets. The building will be constructed using reinforced concrete block with crushed rubble aggregate, bamboo roof framing in the Galri, and plastered straw-clay panels in the second story walls.
  • 36. These projects are being implemented as a collaboration between the University of San Francisco Architecture and Community Design International Outreach Program under the direction of GALRI member Seth Wachtel, and Medicorp, a non-profit community partner in Haiti. This prototype primary care clinic and attendant housing provides Haitian communities with access to health care in structurally safe, efficiently designed and culturally connected buildings. The clinic is designed to be familiar and inviting, climatically comfortable, and structurally able to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. It is to serve as a place of comfort, hope and safety for the community.
  • 37. The attendant dwellings are located in proximity to the Health Clinic, providing housing for health care workers. Various configurations of this complex of housing and health services are intended to be deployed throughout Haiti. Construction details that apply current engineering standards to an adaptation of the historic Gingerbread/Columbage building type found in Port au Prince, Jacmel and other Haitian cities are being developed with the engineering team. The timber laced masonry system is both beautiful and seismically and hurricane resistant.
  • 39. Kreyol Living Wisdom Building Types Research
  • 40. We call the essential patterns of the Haitian environmental legacy “Kreyol Living Wisdom”. They are a touchstone and inspiration for rebuilding, a magnet for investment, and a priceless stake in establishing Haiti’s full partnership on the world stage. Kreyol Living Wisdom is the means by which culturally connected reconstruction and development can actually happen. It is the way that ordinary Haitian citizens can shape the truly sustainable regeneration of their country, through empowering and leveraging the legacy of their native experience and intelligence. Kreyol Living Wisdom must be thoroughly documented, archived and disseminated, in order to best fulfill its full potential.
  • 41. TEN ESSENTIAL PATTERNS: The question--What can Haiti teach us?--has guided our work. It is based on really looking at how Haitians have actually best lived in and crafted their environment, as well as their dreams and aspirations to a healthier society. We have focused on ten essential patterns that represent the full spectrum of this knowledge. These patterns, on three levels of scale include: TOWNS: BUILDINGS: 1. Landscape Stewardship 5. The Galri (Porch) 2. Living Off the Land 6. The Jaden (Garden) 3. Kreyol Settlement Structure 7. Rural Building Models 4. The Lakou 8. Urban Building Models CONSTRUCTION: 9. Color, Pattern & Ornament 10. Kreyol Architecture
