The first session in the 2022
In
The session will deep-dive into architecture practice that has evolved over time drawing on place, culture and context to develop its own particularities. And yet, there is so much more to be learnt from traditional and indigenous forms of architecture, from place making, sustainability, and working with communities and Country.
This session will provide insight to process and collaboration, connectivity and sensitivity and help formulate ideas that every architect and designer requires to better inform his or her practice.
Perspectives that will be explored include,
– How connecting and collaborating with First Nations People can enhance a project, a place and a community and why this should happen.
– How to take the first steps in working with Indigenous communities.
– Understand what Country is and, with this knowledge, design better architecture to reflect people and place.
– Explore the processes to better work with a First Nations community and learn what needs to be learnt.
– Discuss partnerships happening now that present best practice in various aspects of architecture and design.

The session will be moderated by
