AUTHOR TALKS
ALISON PAGE & PAUL MEMMOTT:
DESIGN - BUILDING ON COUNTRY
Aboriginal design is of a distinctly cultural
nature, based in the Dreaming and in ancient
practices grounded in Country. It is visible in
the aerodynamic boomerang, the ingenious
design of fish traps and the precise layouts
of community settlements that strengthen
social cohesion. Authors Alison Page and Paul
Memmott show how these design principles
of sophisticated function, sustainability and
storytelling, refined over many millennia are
now being applied to contemporary practices.
Part of the First Knowledges series, offering an
introduction to Indigenous knowledges. Each
book is a collaboration between Indigenous and
non-Indigenous writers and is edited by Margo
