A New Model for Decolonising Climate Responsive Design

AA Public Programme

New Models invites practitioners across disciplines to discuss how their work can change the models around which society is organised.

<p>This lecture explores climate responsive design by integrating indigenous knowledge from communities, while attempting to facilitate the emancipatory intentions of the action (design) research in architectural practice. Through enabling marginalised local voices by emphasising collective engagement, and improvising community participatory and adaptive architectural responses to social and ecological entanglement, architectural practice start to address the issues faced by these disadvantaged communities. In this way, design practice becomes an active agent for decolonising design methods for climate and spatial justice. By drawing on applied anthropological approaches,  ‘ethnography in the field’ prioritises community members as producers of climate responsive design research and uses participants’ drawings, making and storytelling as methods of production of local (indigenous) knowledge.</p><p>Tumpa Husna Yasmin Fellows is an architect, design researcher, a lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture and an architectural design tutor at the London School of Architecture and the Central Saint Martins. She is the founder of FAME collective, co-founder of Our Building Design and the charity Mannan Foundation Trust. Tumpa utilises design practice to be an active agent of socio-spatial decolonisation for environmental, climate and spatial justice. Tumpa is a panel member of the Design Review Panel for the Southwark Council Planning Department. She was named a RIBA-J Rising Star (2017), she has been awarded the RIBA President&#x27;s Award for Research 2019 (commendation), a RIBA BAME award winner (2019), SEED/PacificRim Award (2018) and Architecture Sans Frontiers Award (2017).</p>
