NATURE IS ME VS MINE

RELATEDNESS: NATURE IS ME VS NATURE IS MINE

The image and video (https://youtu.be/j-eN6unoqpI) displayed examines ours, indigeneity, the land, and architecture’s relationship with the notion of ‘wilderness’. In particular, the concept of nature is mine vs nature is me.

A green line guides a viewer along the video. The plan, nature is mine, is expressed through musical notation which is divided into four section through grid lines. Each object within the image corresponds with specific sounds.

Nature is me is shown within section. We explore the spirit of place of the sea nomads where they understand their relationship within their maritime environment.

Furthermore, if we re-conceptualize architecture and place in terms of relatedness we may be able to reframe our western understanding of ‘wilderness’. In addition, our world is risking climate and ecological impairment through the overuse of our environment. The question becomes how can architecture be utilized to create new non-utilitarian lenses so that the western perspective of ‘Nature is Mine’ acknowledges the Indigenous Perspective of ‘Nature is Ours’?
