The Architecture of Backpacking by Wanda Dalla Costa

I walked through endless cities, visiting harbors, skyscrapers and cultural districts. I was especially interested in how local ways of living were supported by built forms: The food vendor stands on the street giving way to bustling evening hangouts, the micro businesses lining streets and the innovative forms of travel like the three-wheel tuk tuks, which transported millions of people each day. I didn’t know it at the time, but this viewing of places and spaces brought architecture into my world.

Canadian Architect: Learning from Indigenous Consultants

Canadian Architect: Learning from Indigenous Consultants

“We are so constricted and strapped by colonial processes—whether it is cepts (ways of being, connecting, and doing). Indigenous ideas do not have a place in the current system, and that is holding architecture down….The values we imbue in architectural processes come from our traditional systems that are associated with our traditional architecture. Architecture is done in the place, it is very specific to the place, and we cannot know about that place and nor should we pretend to. When we are trying to reconstruct a future, we need to be really good listeners, and ‘imagineers.’ What we are doing is reimagining a future that is not the one we are living in. And I think humility is at the base of this.

Sky Science in the Painted Desert with Wanda Dalla Costa

Imagine a view with almost perfect visibility, a near edgeless, perfectly black night sky. That’s the Painted Desert. Join us on a field trip with architect Wanda Dalla Costa, who will take us through the desert to explore the architectural practices of several indigenous tribes and reveal how light and design influence the way we move through the world. Oh, and we might just get a peek inside one of the most secretive, highly anticipated art projects in modern history
