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.

HAITI’S UNIQUE & SUSTAINABLE
INDIGENOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PATTERNS

THEIR ROLE IN THE REBUILDING PROCESS
![Page 11: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

In order to really stick, reconstruction must have at its heart an understanding of Haiti’s dynamic and innovative Kreyol culture and its unique blend of African, European and American traditions, what we call the patterns of "Kreyol Living Wisdom“.
![Page 13: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Through patterns like these, ordinary Haitian citizens can shape the truly sustainable regeneration of their country, empowering and leveraging the legacy of their native experience and intelligence.

The patterns of Kreyol Living Wisdom must be thoroughly documented, archived and disseminated in order to fulfill their full potential.

1. LANDSCAPE STEWARDSHIP
![Page 24: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The richness and variety of Haiti’s landscape, from the coastline and mountains to the river valleys forms a dynamic ecological system. The rebalancing of this system must form the basis of Haiti’s regeneration, encompassing cities, towns, and villages, as well as its wilderness and agricultural regions.
![Page 26: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
By replanting its forests, replenishing fertile soil, and providing clean water for every citizen, by thus renewing the life and beauty of its natural landscape, Haiti can become a model of environmental restoration and recovery for the world.
![Page 28: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

2. LIVING OFF THE LAND
![Page 30: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Restoration of Haiti’s natural landscape must be connected to nurturing an agriculture base, to provide food and work. The land itself is not the only agricultural resource, farming wisdom is critically embodied in the people as well. Agriculture renewal projects will range in size and type of operation, including from kitchen gardens to large-scale ranches, from family farms to the commercial manufacture of gourmet food and farm products.
![Page 32: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Although this process must have a coordinated, global vision, it must be actually put into action piece by piece, on the ground. We must continuously observe what works best and build on it, observe what works best and build on it.
![Page 34: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
3. KREYOL SETTLEMENT STRUCTURE
![Page 36: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
From the rural farming compounds to the bustling metropolises of Port Au Prince and Cap Hatien, Haiti’s human settlements incorporate a range of large grain economic, social, and architectural patterns, from the French & Spanish Colonial gridiron city plan, to the more topographically determined landscape and layouts of the agricultural villages and urban Bidonvilles (informal settlements).
![Page 38: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Colonial planning was centered on natural and human resource exploitation. Conversely, a program of refurbishing the Bidonvilles could provide a prospect for the emergence of intense urban as well as rural landscape restoration, an opportunity to humanely harness and leverage the social genius and energy of Haitians in the cities.
![Page 41: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

4. THE LAKOU
![Page 43: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
![Page 44: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
In Kreyol, the shared yard or courtyard is called "Lakou". Traditionally this space accommodates the sharing of material items, chores, food, space and child care. It has been said that the Lakou, even more than the buildings around it, is the real home of those who live there. In rural settings Lakou is the yard of the family or extended family, the communal work space of the farm compound.
![Page 45: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
![Page 46: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
In towns and cities Lakou are often at the interior of the block. In both contexts a more public Lakou can emerge as the center of a neighborhood, connected to intimately scaled streets. For some Haitians, Lakou is negatively associated with poverty, Vodun, and rural nostalgia. The opportunity is to employ the critical power of this communal arena, and bring it into the dynamic reality of 21st century--the "Nouvo Lakou".

5. THE GALRI
![Page 49: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
![Page 50: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
A major contribution to the life of public spaces is made by the Galri (porch) in practice the actual “living room” of Haitian buildings. For climatic and cultural reasons, Haitians perform many of their living and social activities functions outside, in the Galri, sheltered from the sun and the rain. The interior of the house mainly serves as a place to rest and to store possessions.
![Page 51: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
![Page 52: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
![Page 53: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
In denser urban areas the Galri can be two stories or more tall, wrapping around buildings, and even linking separate buildings. Their often intricately detailed ornament manifests the character and identity of their builders, owners and residents, as well as that of the cities and towns themselves.
![Page 54: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
6. THE JADEN
![Page 55: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
![Page 56: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Haiti’s gardens possess immense potential, including for a secondary food production source and as a component of an integrated water resource management system. Food production at even the smallest scales is vital in a country of chronic shortage. Storm water, grey water and even night soil can be fruitfully leveraged.
![Page 57: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
![Page 58: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Even ornamental plant systems serve as symbiotic wildlife habitat for birds and insects as well as elements of personal and civic identity and pride. This garden network, from the scale of urban window boxes, rural backyard kitchen and herbal plots, to community gardens on undeveloped parcels, provides incremental support for the Landscape Stewardship and Living Off The Land patterns.
![Page 59: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

7. RURAL BUILDINGS
![Page 61: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
![Page 62: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The simple two room buildings with Galri, The Ti Kay & the Kreyol Cottage are the essential Haitian rural house models. They often start out as transitional shelters, and over time are transformed into long-life homes. Conventionally built with light frames, they are easily adapted to a variety of construction systems.
![Page 63: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
![Page 64: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Whatever the construction, new or rebuilt, the best examples make for a secure and durable shelter, allow for owner participation and adaptation, and provide for expression of community and individual identity. These buildings never stand alone. They are always integrated into landscape and agricultural patterns, and most especially into the social context of the “Lakou.”
![Page 65: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

8. URBAN BUILDINGS
![Page 68: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
THE CREOLE TOWN HOUSE
![Page 69: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

In Haiti’s cities, the Kreyol Town House is the typical building model. Like the rural buildings, it has a “Galri” that connects it to the streets and shared public spaces. It allows for extraordinary flexibility and variety in layout and use. The “Kay Chamhot” (house with tall rooms) is an example of the creative urban transformation of the “Ti Kay” rural house.
![Page 71: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

The largest examples of the Kreyol Townhouse, the “Grand Maison” can cover a full town block, with multi-story wraparound Galri, landscaped interior courtyards, and beautifully ornamented columns and balconies. The Kreyol Town House is a vibrant expression of Haitian civic life.

9. COLOR, PATTERN & ORNAMENT
![Page 80: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

In Haitian culture color, pattern and ornament are essential elements. Overall, the approach to building and landscape is straightforward and practical, thus it is often through decoration that particular places are distinguished and celebrated. Haitians employ color, pattern and ornament in their environment because it says who and where they are, and it is beautiful and celebratory.
![Page 82: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)

Certain colors and decorative elements can have specific meanings and significance. Consciously and skillfully employed, they can enhance the legibility of the environment.

Haiti’s late 19th and early 20th century Gingerbread Houses embody the full potential of the Kreyol, and are perhaps the most exemplary body of work to date of African American architecture. They are intensely expressive, structurally ingenious and adaptively responsive to the extremes of the Caribbean climate.

Although their formal sophistication marks them as works of the highest artistic quality, in their fundamental practicality and structural transparency they drink deeply from the Haitian vernacular, particularly the “Kay Chamhot” (house with tall rooms). Their creative synthesis of African, European and American influences sets an ambitious benchmark for the country’s future environmental and cultural development.

In order to really stick, reconstruction must have at its heart an understanding of Haiti’s dynamic and innovative Kreyol culture and its unique blend of African, European and American traditions, what we call the patterns of "Kreyol Living Wisdom“.
![Page 113: Kreyol Living Wisdom](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5457d5a5af795998788b5259/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Through patterns like these, ordinary Haitian citizens can shape the truly sustainable regeneration of their country, empowering and leveraging the legacy of their native experience and intelligence.

The patterns of Kreyol Living Wisdom must be thoroughly documented, archived and disseminated in order to fulfill their full potential.
