Casa IED presents Julia Watson

Water as a Positive Ecological Force and Teacher for a World Confronting Evolving Climate Realities.

Doors open at 6:30 pm. Talk starts at 7 pm.

Landscape design often forgets about the impact of Indigenous technology and architecture, and their experience in finding sustainable, zero-impact solutions for living. Centuries of knowledge are often left at the margins due to the imposition of a Western, colonizer view on design. Julia Watson will be in conversation with writer and teacher Clara Ramazzotti, leading us through nature-based Indigenous discoveries, intersecting with anthropology, ecology, and urban design, in a talk about the past, present, and future of architecture.

Casa IED continues to open its doors as a space for dialogue and exchange in New York City, where multiple intelligences meet to reflect on contemporary culture and design.

IED - Istituto Europeo di Design is the largest European Higher Education Network in the creative field with a deeply Italian cultural matrix, since 1966.

Julia Watson is an Australian-born designer, educator, author, TED speaker, and radical thought leader of Greco-Egyptian-English heritage, known for championing climate-resilient design through ancestral technologies. Trained as an architect in First Nations knowledge systems, she co-authored Lo–TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism and Lo—TEK. Water. A Field Guide for TEKnology. with Indigenous experts.
