Breathing Deeply

‘Breathing Deeply’ is a conceptual body of work that looks at the knowledge embedded in Country and the relationship between people and the built landscape. As heavily discussed in Greg Campbell’s ‘Total Reset, Realigning with our timeless holistic blueprint for living’ there is an urgency to transition from a dichotomous way of inhabiting the world to an autonomous, self-sufficient way of life. In order to achieve a sustainable and holistic blueprint for living, there needs to be a complete overhaul of current social, financial and economical systems. Taking a Country-centred approach is no longer an option, it is imperative for the greater good and highly relevant to the architectural profession.
