Colonization Through Design

By Gavin Renwick

Colonization Through Design explores the extent to which housing, and ideas of home and domesticity, were fundamental to the colonization of Indigenous people in Canada, tracing the historic conflict between agricultural Christian society and Indigenous ways of knowing, and the ongoing assimilative practices of the contemporary settler state. The design profiles within the book explore a new design plurality that links innovative technical solutions with Indigenous knowledge, and present various design solutions that generate cultural continuity and environmental sustainability.
