Time: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Design through an Indigenous Lens explores the ways in which we, as Indigenous Peoples, approach the world. We will outline how the process of design and architecture can be improved though Indigenous Cultures, with an application for the contemporary society.
Learn about the Ideas regarding the design process, multi-generational households, “Universal Inclusivity”, urban agriculture, multi-service provider neighbourhoods, and the alternate goals for urban planning.
