20.01.2022 CHARLES STURT ON FIRST NATIONS HABITATS "We passed several native huts shortly after leaving the creek that were differently constructed from any we had seen. T...hey were all arched elliptically by bending the bough of a tree at a certain height from the ground, and resting the other end on a forked stick at the opposite side of the arch. A thick layer of boughs was then put over the roof and back, on which there was also a thick coating of red clay, so that the hut was impervious to wind or heat. These huts were of considerable size, and close to each there was a smaller one equally well made as the larger. Both were left in perfect repair, and had apparently been swept prior to the departure of their inmates. Notwithstanding the misgivings I had as to the creek, the paths of the natives became wider and wider as we advanced. They were now as broad as a footpath in England, by a road side, and were well trodden; numerous huts of boughs also lined the creek, so that it was evident we were advancing into a well peopled country, and this circumstance raised my hopes that it would improve. The native habitations, at all events those of the natives of the interior, with the exception of the Coopers Creek tribe, had huts of a much more solid construction than those of the natives of the Murray or the Darling, although some of their huts were substantially built also. Those of the interior natives however were made of strong boughs with a thick coating of clay over leaves and grass. They were entirely impervious to wind and rain, and were really comfortable, being evidently erections of a permanent kind to which the inhabitants frequently returned. Where there were villages these huts were built in rows, the front of one hut being at the back of the other, and it appeared to be a singular but universal custom to erect a smaller hut at no great distance from the large ones, but we were unable to detect for what purpose they were made, unless it was to deposit their seeds; as they were too small even for children to inhabit. .......in the space of less than five miles, we were introduced to four different tribes, whose collective numbers amounted to seventy-one. The huts of these natives were constructed of boughs, and were of the usual form, excepting those of the last tribe, which were open behind, forming elliptic arches of boughs, and the effect was very pretty. ..........we reached the hill soon after the natives had gone over it, and on gaining the summit were hailed with a deafening shout by 3 or 400 natives, who were assembled in the flat below. I do not know, that my desire to see the savage in his wild state, was ever more gratified than on this occasion, for I had never before come so suddenly upon so large a party. The scene was one of the most animated description, and was rendered still more striking from the circumstance of the native huts, at which there were a number of women and children, occupying the whole crest of a long piece of rising ground at the opposite side of the flats."

20.01.2022 Design for cooling is becoming more critical than ever, and air conditioning is chewing up an increasing level of electricity use "Buildings use more than half ...of the worlds electricity, mostly for temperature maintenance and ventilation, with air cooling accounting for nearly 20 per cent."

18.01.2022 We're rapidly sprinting towards "F*CK," but there's still a chance to undo the mess that we've made! Whether you're cutting out meat, ditching plastic, growing ...your own food, shopping local or commuting responsibly, every step makes a difference. So let's fight for a greener tomorrow! @semi_rad via IG / Semi-Rad.com

11.01.2022 We humans have a relationship with nature at a cellular level which is experienced vibrationally. When patterns of nature are incorporated into our architecture..., a vibrational exchange takes place between the building and its occupants in a way that is similar to the connection we have with nature, and which leads to a sense of well being. The evolutionary perspective is that the human brain processes natural content with relative ease and efficiency because the brain and sensory systems were evolved in natural environments. Spending our whole life in a pattern-less world will weaken our intellectual development and understanding of the natural world.
