Old Stories, New Ways

Conversations about an Architecture Inspired by Indigenous Ways of Knowing

Herausgeber: Pannekoek, Frits

Beschreibung

"Old Stories, New Ways is about the influence that Indigenous Elders and their Grandfather Stories have had on the Manasc Isaac projects, not only on Indigenous lands but also on their practice as a whole. Indigenous ways of knowing make for better, more sustainable architecture, and it also made Manasc Isaac a more caring, nurturing, best practices firm, always ready to look at any problem from an Indigenous perspective."--
