Highly recommend this talk:

This illustrated talk introduces the principal elements of the traditional Islamic garden, the chahar-bagh (4–fold garden) form associated with the Gardens of Paradise. It examines how an understanding of these elements together with their spiritual symbolism may shed light upon its inherent ecological wisdom. The talk looks at the Qur’an’s descriptions of the Gardens of Paradise (jannat al-firdaus) as the chief source of inspiration for the traditional Islamic Garden. It examines the importance of Nature in the Qur’an and how this demonstrates a profound environmental knowledge which we may all learn from today, regardless of background, culture or creed. This introduction aims to convey a taste of the traditional Islamic garden’s timeless and universal beauty as well as its inherent message of both inner and outer sustainability. In turn this may also encourage an understanding that the Islamic garden offers a great opportunity for ‘building bridges’ between communities today.

Planning and Public Housing - Hunter Living Histories Showcase 1 July 2024   The Overview   Three excellent presenters help us understand how public/affordable housing once worked, why it went belly up, and what we need to do to get it back on track.   The Presenters   Mr Joe Flood - a Principal Research Scientist and leader of housing research at CSIRO. Joe Flood is a policy, data analyst and mathematician. He has made contributions to mathematics, housing and urban economics, urban indicators, slum studies, climate change and genetic genealogy. Flood worked in CSIRO from 1977 to 1993, where he conducted about 25 research projects for every level of government in Australia during 1984-93. His research contributed to several major changes in Australia’s housing policy.   Enzhuo Gai, also known as Jason, is an architecture graduate from the University of Newcastle. With a strong background in art, Jason brings a creative and artistic approach to every project, including his wonderful work on the Broadmeadow project which he presents to us, as a wonderful inspiration of ideas and possibilities.   Dr John Mackenzie – is a consulting researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute for Regional Futures, one of the University’s flagship research institutes. Building on the legacy of the Hunter Research Foundation, the Institute partners with governments, industries and communities providing social, economic and spatial evidence to strategic planning and decision-making. John chairs the City of Newcastle’s Liveable Cities Committee and is a member of the Hunter Central Coast Regional Planning Panel, both of which inform key decisions in planning and housing in the City of Newcastle.    Why It Matters   Heritage and environmental groups are expressing concern at the housing issue. Everyone wants something done about getting people into affordable housing but are worried that the mad rush is trashing proper planning; they simply fear that replacing poor planning (that got us into this housing mess) is not going to be solved by more poor planning, rushed through, to get us out of it.   https://lnkd.in/eQCdphc9 #planning #housing #publichousing #socialhousing
