In an effort to help them regain their
orientation, a CSUF advance architectu¬
ral design class has developed a prototype
for refugee housing.
The Prototype Refugee Housing, as it is
called, is designed to create an enviror
c thei
some stability and allow them lo assimi¬
late gradually into American society,
according to James Leong, local architect
and class lecturer.
Certain factors such as their physical,
social, cultural, psychological and eco¬
nomic needs were addressed before the
20-membcr class developed the Prototype.
Their findings determined that:
• Hmongs like to gather in large groups,
("sometimes between 100-200 people,
which really constitutes a village," said
Leong).
.The interfacing in American archi'ccui rr.
does not allow them to interact with thrir
neighbors. ("They

.They have large famili

families, Leong emphasized).
.They are afraid of heights. (In LiOS their
dwellings were at the most two stories
high,"said Chan. "Anything higher scares
them.")
• Ninety percent live on government aid.
(The prototype as a self-help program
would ultimately create employment. "In
Laos they built their own homes, so they
logical know-how," said Leong.)
The class wanted the Prototype to be a
simple analogy for the concept of growth.
The result is that it consists of "the daisy,"
"the pot," and "the nursery."
The "daisy" is made up of individual
units (petals) equivalent to a village. The
pot is a common center that will provide
services for daisy villages. The pot would
have a school, health clinic, worship a
recreation hall and commercial facilities
for the sale of crafts, and fruits and
The nursery would be a regional facility
for Hmongs to gather at from different
pots in the San Joaquin Valley. It would
consist of a more advanced level of every¬
thing in the pot, according to Leong.
The most important thing about the
individual units is that they arc expanda¬
ble to accommodate extended families,"
said Leong. "Unlike western homes, they
are initially designed with thc idea that
rooms will be added to the basic unit."
The existing city dump at Jensen and
West Avenues is the site chosen for the
Prototype.
