Softcover. Condition: Very Good. The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges in vital areas and their application to the present day and the future. Exploring practices such as architecture and design, land management, botany, astronomy and innovation, this six-book series brings together two very different ways of understanding the natural world: one ancient, the other modern. The second book focuses on design. Aboriginal design is of a distinctly cultural nature, based in the Dreaming and in ancient practices grounded in Country. It is visible in the aerodynamic boomerang, the ingenious design of fish traps and the precise layouts of community settlements that strengthen social cohesion. Alison Page and Paul Memmott show how these design principles of sophisticated function, sustainability and storytelling, refined over many millennia, are now being applied to contemporary practices. Design: Building on Country issues a challenge for a new Australian design ethos, one that truly responds to the essence of Country and its people. 219 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How have Indigenous building traditions shaped modern building practices? What can the study of vernacular architecture contribute to debates about sustainable development? How has vernacular architecture been used to argue for postcolonial modernisation and what has been the effect on heritage and conservation?Design and the Vernacular explores how the vernacular architecture of Australasia and Oceania intersects with modernity and globalization challenging assumptions about vernacular architecture being anachronistic and static, and instead demonstrating how it can shape contemporary architecture, nation building and cultural identities.Sixteen chapters by architects, designers, and theorists, including Indigenous writers, explore different facets of vernacular architecture amid the context of rapid political, economic, technological, social and environmental changes. The result offers valuable lessons and case studies for architects across the globe, and for anyone interested in how the vernacular can inform contemporary urban planning and architectural design. Addresses the relevance and role of vernacular architecture to contemporary urban planning and architectural practice using case studies across Australasia and Oceania.
