B R I E F B I O G R A P H Y :
Dennis Robert Holloway, a native of Michigan, attended the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) College of Architecture and Design and received his Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) Degree there in 1966. Professors William Muschenheim , Robert Lytle, Leonard K. Eaton (architectural historian), Gordon Rogers, Roger Clemence, and Robert Beckley were important teachers in his formative architectural studies. During his undergraduate years he worked as a draftsman for Ann Arbor architect, Robert C. Metcalf, and later as a designer for architect, Alden B. Dow, (the noted student of Frank Lloyd Wright) in Midland, Michigan.
He later attended Harvard University Graduate School of Design, which awarded him a Master of Architecture in Urban Design (MAUD) Degree in 1967. Professors Jose Luis Sert, Wilhelm von Moltke, Jerzy Soltan, Eduard Sekler, and Jacqueline Tyrwhitt challenged him to understand architecture and design in a broader urban context.
During 1968-1969, while living in London, Liverpool, and Leiden, he independently studied housing design and housing system building in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands under a State Department Fulbright Scholarship in associationwith the University of Liverpool (UK).
Returning to the States he worked two years for the New York City architecture-city planning firm of Conklin & Rossant--working on designs for large public housing projects and large complexes of buildings.
From 1970 to 1977 Mr. Holloway taught at the University of Minnesota School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, under the Headship of Ralph Rapson, where he was tenured as an Associate Professor of Architecture. From 1977 to 1980 he was a tenured Associate Professor of Environmental Design at the University of Colorado at Boulder. During this period Mr. Holloway introduced new courses and research in solar architecture and appropriate technology design.
In 1973 Mr. Holloway pioneered the University of Minnesota Solar House, Project Ouroboros, which as the first solar house in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, was colaboratively designed and constructed by 450 of his freshman students over a three-year period. Ouroboros was the first truly interdisciplinary applications research project implemented at the University, also involving the architedture and engineering departments of the Institute of Technology. Professors Perry Blackshear, Emil Pfender, Patrick Starr, and graduate student, John Ilse, in the Mechanical Engineering Department, were active collaborators in the development of the hybrid active solar collection, storage, and monitoring systems for the Project.
In 1976 he helped to create the Federally funded National Center For Appropriate Technology, Butte Montana, serving for two years on the Board of Directors. During this period the Board dispersed two million dollars in grants to appropriate technology projects in low-income and minority communities throughout the United States.
His public service to the solar energy movement is nationally and internationally respected and was honored in 1976 by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Quality Award in Science and Technology. Dennis Holloway is the subject of biographical record in the first edition of Marquis Who's Who in Frontier Science and Technology.
Mr. Holloway was one of thirty international architects (seven from U.S.A.) to be invited by the Government of Japan to exhibit passive solar architecture projects in Ginza Pocket Park at the Passive Solar Forum, 1987, Tokyo, organized by the Japan Solar Energy Society and Architectural Institute of Japan.
Concurrent with his University teaching and research Mr. Holloway has practiced his profession as a Registered Architect, first in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and later in Boulder, Colorado. He is currently registered in Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, and he now resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
He is a Certified Architect of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, which entitles him to reciprocal registration anywhere in the United States. He now devotes his professional time to architectural and planning projects which focus on energy conservation principles, renewable sources of energy, solar-adobe, urban design, historic preservation, and Southwestern U.S. traditional vernacular. Current projects occupying his attention include appropriate technology housing for the Navajo Nation, health care facilities for Native Americans, and solar-adobe construction in Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.
From 1987 through 1990 he was Director of the Colorado Solar Hogan Demonstration at the University of Colorado / Boulder, and, collaborating with Charles Cambridge, Navaho Anthropologist, demonstrated applications of passive solar, solar electric, and other appropriate technologies to the traditional "off-the-grid" Navaho home--the hogan. The project has been filmed for Cable Discovery Channel's Beyond 2000 and has been broadcast in sixty countries via satellite. The Navaho Nation is in the long term process of preparing a platform to implement his designs as alternatives to the inappropriate rectilinear housing or house trailers. All Navaho Nation projects are done through the firm, Cambridge Holloway Associates, Inc., Charles Cambridge (Navaho), President.
Beginning in 1986, Mr. Holloway has been using the Macintosh computer to perform all design, drawings, graphics, and writing in his practice, and is a beta tester for state-of-the-art 3-D computer programs. In November, 1991, in a one-person show called Virtual Realities, he exhibited his computer architecture simultaneously at Philip Bariess Contemporary Exhibitions in Taos, New Mexico an at the Gallery of San Juan College, Farmington, New Mexico.
From 1993 to 1995, the Council of the Pueblo of Pojoaque, in Northern New Mexico, appointed Mr. Holloway as the Director and Principal Architect of Poeh Architecture + Planning, within the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum, Pueblo of Pojoaque . While maintaining his private practice in New Mexico, he was appointed as the internal architect and planner of all new construction and restoration within the Pueblo. Projects completed during that period include the Phase One of the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum Complex, designed in the ancient Anasazi mud idiom, in collaboration with Joel McHorse (Taos Pueblo) and under the direction of (then) Lt. Gov. George Rivera.
Dennis Holloway's writings and architecture have been published widely and internationally. He is co-author, with Maureen McIntyre, of The Owner Builder Experience, How to Design and Build Your Own Home, published in 1986 by Rodale Press, Emmaus, Pennsylvania.
