Nguluway DesignInc’s Post

First Nations design principles and sustainability go hand-in-hand, together improving relationships between people and nature to create more resilient, inclusive societies.     Nguluway DesignInc Managing Director, Craig Kerslake Wiradjuri Nation, said:   "Sustainable design and Designing from Country are extremely complimentary. While sustainable design is the business of creating environmentally-responsive buildings, places, precincts—Designing with Country focuses on the drivers that compel us to act sustainably in the first place. Relationships. Specifically relationships between humanity and nature. The Indigenous way of seeing the world intuitively builds in sustainability due to those cultural systems which declare that we are related to nature, a part of it. Through this Country-centric mindset, we intuitively look after it—like you would a family member. When architects design from this premise, we embed the Indigenous narrative of relationships as the highest priority. When people are intrinsically linked to place, they intuitively care for it.”   Thanks for stopping by, Atelier Ten—it’s always a pleasure to share stories and ideas as part of our industry’s pursuit of reconciliation and environmental stewardship.   + Featuring Atelier Ten, Nguluway DesignInc and DesignInc Sydney  + Catering by Native Foodways   #NowMoreThanEver #NationalReconcilationWeek #B2B #ThoughtLeadership #Architecture #Design #Landscape #Interiors Joyce Lim Tom Fletcher Ian Armstrong Paul Stoller Lucy Marsland Jennifer Elias Stewart Monti Davis Demillo
