TY - CONF TI - Smart Vernacular Architecture: A Framework for Assessment and Virtual Reality-based Visualisation of Indigenous Toda Dwellings AU - Bhaumik, R. AU - Prajapati, S. AU - Kumar, T. AU - Bhalla, K. AU - Ashok, S.S. T2 - Procedia Computer Science AB - Indigenous communities and their way of life are facing significant challenges due to globalisation, industrialisation and urbanisation, which have forced them to gradually adopt the architecture, lifestyle, and culture of mainstream society. This paper proposes a Smart Vernacular Architecture (SVA) framework and applies it to the indigenous dwellings of the Todas, a tribal community living in India's Nilgiri mountains. The architecture and indoor space quality of these dwellings are investigated in this paper based on specific thermal comfort parameters like the interior temperature and airflow. The indoor temperatures of Toda dwellings are simulated for the predicted climate of 2100 to evaluate their climate resilience. Finally, the paper illustrates the usage of virtual reality (VR) to explore and visualise the Toda settlement and the interior environment parameters of a Toda dwelling to effectively convey and preserve the knowledge of vernacular architecture. In a nutshell, this paper elucidates the advantages of vernacular architecture and construction methods to arouse the interest of academics, policymakers, students, and professionals in preserving architecture, culture, and indigenous knowledge. © 2022 Elsevier B.V..

The difficulty in evaluating Fantin’s assertion of the power exerted by architecture is firstly due to a lack of any convincing documented measurement of supposed forces, and secondly there is a relative absence of Indigenous voices in the discourse; so it becomes problematic to conclude the extent architecture exerts this presumed power. Another view presented, is that architecture incorporating Aboriginal themes derived from cultural and totemic references, reinforces identity stereotypes. Leading to the conclusion that several of the completed works consciously and deliberately represent Aboriginality as a primitive and romanticised concept. This latter view poses a contradictory perception that contemporary Indigenous client groups or individuals who participate in projects are passively or naïvely complicit in endorsing regressive, essentialised notions of identity.

C. AU - Reser, J. T2 - 11th Conference on People Physical Environment Research AB - The authors wrote this paper in an attempt to document and describe how to address the design challenge of a public building which captures and distils Indigenous cultural assumptions, perspectives, connections, and cultural content. Although there is a body of knowledge about Aboriginal vernacular design and meaning, and about related architectural design issues, there is not a good sense of how relevant this collective wisdom is in the context of a public or monumental building. There are also many pitfalls in prescribing something in a domain which is largely uncharted - or indeed of prescribing anything to architects, or on behalf of Aboriginal communities. Questions that are addressed in this paper include:- What might an interested architect want to know about Aboriginal cultures? What are some possible thematic elements and complexes that might lend themselves to architectural form, function and meaning? What are some good and bad examples of previous attempts to design and incorporate Indigenous culture into public buildings? What Aboriginal design issues are most relevant to the design of public architecture?

What Next? Speculations on History’s Futures AB - Royal Park, Parkville, an area of windswept and open parkland just north of central Melbourne, has a long and complex history that has been well documented in historical studies and cultural heritage reports. Set aside early in the colony after La Trobe and his council petitioned for an area of 2560 acres to be reserved for “public advantage and recreation” and named in honour of the distant English monarch, it was quickly whittled down to 700 acres after gold was discovered. Land was needed for housing, experimental agriculture, a zoo, psychiatric asylum and hospitals in the rapidly expanding colony and this empty patch of land in close proximity to the town centre seemed suitable for ready appropriation. Later, during both world wars, it was used for a military camp that was subsequently taken over for low-cost housing, which became a notorious slum, before it was reclaimed as an area for sport and open space. Settler Australia has a long history of seeing empty land as a terra nullius, available for the pickings. But this particular patch of country has a deeper history as a Kulin Nation inter-tribal gathering site for ceremony, healing, law, trade and marriage. Over the past three decades Royal Park has received renewed attention by postcolonial historians, artists, activists and landscape architecture through discourse, performative arts practices and design, which have explored its unique ecology and broader cultural history. But the parkland’s enduring cultural significance for Indigenous people has had little attention. The authors draw on contemporary ethnographic research with, and Indigenist research by, Aboriginal people who work and use Royal Park for healing and cultural practices to this day. They argue that history is ever-present in Aboriginal culture and Royal Park remains what it always has been: a gathering place for culture, health, wellbeing and healing.
