The LivingThe Living Design Series emphasises sustainable and adaptable design solutions, showcasing building and their spaces as dynamic entities that serve the needs of users. It initiates dialogue on how design can shape healthier and more resilient environments for people and the planet. This series has been curated by the Queensland Climate Action and Sustainability Committee. The series will consist of four consecutive webinars. Each webinar will include a 40-minute presentation followed by a Q&A session. Our August 2026 webinar, First Nations Guidance and Advocacy, features Michael Mossman and Shaneen Fantin from the Australian Institute of Architects’ First Nations Advisory Committee. Together, they will explore how guidance, collaboration, and community-led action can strengthen engagement with First Nations Peoples and Country. The session highlights two initiatives shaping built environment practice: Walk Together: Design Guided by Country, a free resource launching in August 2026 to support meaningful First Nations engagement in design, and the Wrights Creek land care project on Yidinji Country, where a local initiative led by the Gimuy Rangers of Cairns has grown into a powerful network of care and advocacy for Country. Together, these projects demonstrate how thoughtful guidance and community leadership can foster more culturally responsive and place-based approaches to design and stewardship.
