Interactive Design and Construction in Remote Indigenous Communities

摘要

The Bower Studios are a sequence of Master of Architecture design projects at The University of Melbourne's School of Design. They involve students working to design and build community infrastructure alongside indigenous groups in remote locations in Australia, Thailand and Papua New Guinea. Since 2008, the team has designed and constructed houses, pavilions, computer labs and an early childhood education centre, alongside members of the Gudorrka, Knuckeys Lagoon, Bumbu, Serongko, Nong Thong Lim and Wakathuni communities.
