SUMMARY:Living in Symbiosis - an Archeology of the Future
DESCRIPTION:More than a method of work\, “Archeology of the future” is a true approach to the built landscape established by Lina Ghotmeh throughout her practice. Founder of Lina Ghotmeh — Architecture\, Paris based discipline\, Lina Ghotmeh’s designs develop from thorough historical research emerging as exquisite interventions that enliven our memories and senses. \nIn this “Archeology of the future”\, every architecture is drawn from its place and from the traces of its past. A link is drawn between time\, memory\, space establishing an anchored place drawing a strong tie between the Humane and Nature. The past meets the future as histories are unearthed and memories excavated to enable questioning\, innovation\, and a more sustainable architecture. \nBearing a “humanist” approach\, Lina Ghotmeh’s practice emphasises the power of craft and that of the hand in the making of Architecture. Through this\, the built embraces the traditions of its localities\, while uplifting the subjective experience and the collective memory of those it recalls.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Habitat Management for Threatened Reptiles and Frogs east of Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Habitat Management for Threatened Reptiles & Frogs East of Melbourne –\nwith David De Angelis\nOur understanding of the types of habitats used by threatened frogs and reptiles is increasingly developing. In some cases\, assumptions about the best way to manage revegetation\, weed control and fire can result in poorer outcomes for local populations. We will visit several sites where David will explain why habitat structure and land management history are often more important for the survival of reptiles and frogs than whether the plants they live among are indigenous or introduced. We will also discuss some of the difficulties managing populations that are increasingly being recognised as living in habitats that might otherwise be perceived as being too highly disturbed\, polluted or weedy. Species that will be discussed include the Glossy Grass Skink\, Swamp Skink\, Growling Grass Frog and Southern Toadlet. \nOur guide – David De Angelis: \nDavid is an ecological consultant and environmental educator with a background in ecological land management\, having worked on wetland and bush crews early in his career. He is particularly interested in the conservation and ecology of reptiles and frogs\, having surveyed and written habitat management plans for the threatened species will be discussing. \nLocations: \n1st location: Tirhatatuan Wetlands Conservation Park\, Rowville. Meet 10:00am opposite 24 Illawarra Avenue. (Melbourne Water Land) \n2nd location: Bayswater north\, meet at the south end of Market drive off Canterbury Road (Maroondah land) \n3rd location: Bungalook Conservation Reserves\, Kilsyth South. Meet at 7 Tereddan drive\, enter Tereddan Drive off Liverpool road (DO NOT believe your GPS there is no vehicle access to Tereddan Drive from the west of the site) \nTerrain – Across slashed grass\, formed paths\, single file tracks\, up and down steep embankments. \nWear/Bring – Closed solid shoes\, long pants\, water\, food\, any medications you may need. Dress for the weather forecast of the day i.e. wet weather clothes\, sun hat. Fold up chair/something to sit on for lunch.
