Reviews
We rediscover an ancient mythology in a contemporary context, radicalizing the spirit of human nature. The result of more than 20 years of travelling to research the original smart settlements, through an architect's lens.
Can ancient fixes save our crisis-torn world?... [Lo-TEK. Design by Radical Indigenism] is the result of a decade of travelling to some of the most remote regions on the planet, interviewing anthropologists, scientists and tribe members. [Watson] carefully documented their indigenous innovations using the landscape architect's language of plans, cross-sections and exploded isometric diagrams to explain clearly how they work. Examples of centuries-old design that combat climate change. Lo--TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism provides a blueprint for sustainable architecture in the 21st century. The result of more than 20 years of travelling to research the original smart settlements, through an architect's lens. We rediscover an ancient mythology in a contemporary context, radicalizing the spirit of human nature.
