An Indigenous sense of place

Dr. David Fortin shared that Indigenous design is finally receiving the recognition it deserves.  

Public and private institutions alike are looking for designers to include Indigenous “elements” in the design of buildings and landscapes. But Fortin, a citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario, cautions that Indigeneity isn’t an aesthetic.  

Alison Brooks (BES, 1985, BARCH, 1988, DENG, 2016) is one of the UK’s most highly awarded and internationally acclaimed architects, she has produced works encompassing urban design and housing, higher education buildings, private houses and public buildings for the arts. In a recent interview with Madame Architect, Alison discusses self-sufficiency, creativity, and professionalism, advising those just starting their careers to make time for creative thinking.
