Abstract
Aura Country Terror Refrain explores cultural and philosophical concepts in relation to Dr Michael Mossman’s experiences with place and architecture.
Framed through the lens of pedagogical approaches, self-reflection and personal storytelling relative to his Home, Dr Mossman presents the key words of the presentation title in relation to influential recent trips to Berlin Germany. The presentation describes considerations of Indigenising the built environment, the vitality of human experience and the historical interactions with place across generations and into the future. Growing up in Gimuy (Cairns), studying architecture in Canberra, practicing and now teaching architecture on the Country of the Gadigal, Mossman invites participants to share their experiences of place and culture relative to their Home.
All are welcome!
