The Baca Dlo´ Ay Azhi Community School was designed by Dyron Murphy Architects, P.C., to symbolically incorporate many elements of Navajo Dine culture, including functions and colors associated with the Circle of Life. The main entry faces east toward Mt. Taylor, which is one of the four sacred mountains for the Dine people. Other design elements address the four sacred directions. The four separate wings of the building revolve around the central core. The spaces between building elements are landscaped with native plants, and create an interplay between the manmade and natural worlds.
