| GDES 4B10 Kanata, The Village: Sustainability and Survivance in Aboriginal Design 0.50 Credit(s) Studio/Seminar |
|
| Through an analysis of historical Indigenous urban centres, architecture and material culture, students explore models of sustainability. Large ideological systems and structures like the Longhouse, the pueblo and the pyramid, and smaller implements such as the teepee and the canoe are examined in terms of governance, construction and resource management. The studio format encourages students to undertake projects that test the applicability of traditional Indigenous public, community and personal structures and implements in contemporary architecture, industrial and environmental design. Course to be co-taught by Aboriginal Visual Culture faculty and Design faculty. |
