Unbuilt Worlds: Understanding Space and Society in Indigenous Settlements delves beyond the physical structures of indigenous communities. It embarks on a captivating exploration of how space is conceptualized, utilized, and imbued with meaning in these cultures. This book challenges the Western perception of settlements and dismantles the notion of buildings as solely functional. Instead, it reveals how indigenous societies weave their social structures, cultural practices, and deep connection to the land into the very fabric of their spatial organization. Imagine dwellings designed to foster community, public areas that serve as social hubs, and landscapes treated with reverence as part of a larger web of life. "Unbuilt Worlds" isn't just about the past; it explores how contemporary indigenous communities are reclaiming traditional spatial practices and adapting them to a changing world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in indigenous cultures, anthropology, or architecture. Whether you're a student, architect, or simply curious about the diverse ways humans interact with their environment, "Unbuilt Worlds" offers a profound perspective on how space shapes society and society shapes space.
